From Prison to Praise Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine that the prison of your soul is a belief, not a wall. In the I AM, the aware presence that you are, every feeling of limitation is only a thought that has taken up residence. When you read, Bring my soul out of prison, you are not petitioning an external release, you are declaring the state you already are. The 'righteous shall compass me about' are the surrounding thoughts of harmony—trust, hope, and gratitude—that gather as you hold the assumption of freedom. 'Thou shalt deal bountifully with me' is the law of consciousness responding to a fixed attitude. If you, in your present moment, align with the truth that you are now free, the external conditions follow; your life rearranges to reflect the inner decree. The verse invites you to return to praise as the natural expression of existence when the mind has found its liberty. Your job is to persist in the feeling of freedom and let the outer world reorganize to mirror it.
