Soul Praises the Lord Within

Neville's Inner Vision

When you read 'Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul,' you are not addressing an outside god but reawakening the I AM within. The LORD is the awareness that you are, the living order of your consciousness, and to praise is to align your attention with that order. The soul's cry is thus a call to remember who you are: the very subject who can praise and be praised by the act of praising itself. In this light, the external world becomes a mirror that reflects your inner tempo; as you sustain the state of reverent acknowledgment, thoughts tremble into rhythm, fears settle, and circumstances respond to the orchestration of inner faith. You do not beg for God to come near; you awaken to realize that you have always been in the presence you call LORD. The practice is to dwell in that inward posture, repeating I AM and offering praise from the heart until the feeling of separation dissolves and your space becomes harmony.
