Inner Refuge Deliverance

Neville's Inner Vision

Deliver me is not a cry for distance but a turning of the I AM toward the inward light that already shelters you. The 'enemies' symbolize inner states—fear, doubt, memory, lack—projected as threats outside your being. To 'flee unto thee' means to shift attention from the restless stories of the mind to the Presence that you are. In Neville's psychology, you do not petition a distant God; you assume the characteristic of God-consciousness and dwell there until the sense of conflict dissolves. Imagine that you are already delivered; feel the assumption as a real state of consciousness in which conflict cannot survive. The moment you identify with the I AM, the imagined enemies lose their power, for awareness cannot be divided against itself. Your true home is the eternal refuge within, a sanctuary of seeing, where every thought shines briefly and then passes. The psalmist's verb becomes your method: declare and dwell in the felt truth that you are delivered by your own awareness, here and now.
