Hear Me Now: Inner Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s way, you read the verse as a map of consciousness. The LORD is not a distant deity but the I AM within, the ever-present awareness that hears and knows you. 'Hear me speedily' is the demand of a mind unsettled by belief in separation; the cry 'my spirit faileth' is a moment when you mistake yourself for something less than consciousness. To 'hide not thy face from me' is to forget that the face of God is the light of awareness that accompanies you wherever you go. The pit is not a trench of doom but a state of non-awareness, a dream of being outside the I AM. Your task is to revise this dream by assuming the reality of your hearing—right now. When you dwell in the sense 'I am heard, I am seen, I am held by the I AM,' you dissolve the fear in an instant and awaken to presence. Imagination creates reality; so imagine that the LORD’s face is upon you, and let the feeling of being heard become your immediate experience.
