Inner Will and Renewal

Neville's Inner Vision

To 'teach me to do thy will' is not a petition to a distant lord but a turning of the mind to the inner will that you already are. When you say 'thou art my God,' you acknowledge that the I AM within is the source and sovereign author of your life. 'Thy spirit is good' declares the animating power in you as benevolent, not punitive. 'Lead me into the land of uprightness' becomes a declaration of living in a state of harmony—where thought, feeling, and action align with legality of rightness in consciousness. 'Quicken me, O LORD' is the invitation to wake from the sleep of fear by the quickening presence of the name—the awareness that you are that divine life. 'For thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble' speaks of the release that comes when you stand in this awareness, knowing troubles dissolve as appearances in the light of your true self. The practice is to assume you already dwell in this upright state, to feel the relief, and to let the imagination do the rest: the world bows to the reality of your awakened consciousness.
