Psalms 148:12

Biblical Context

All generations—young, maidens, old, and children—stand as one chorus before the divine. It depicts the universal presence of God within every phase of life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville's lens, Psalms 148:12 is not about others in the distance but about the states of consciousness you carry. The 'young men' and 'maidens' are the energies of enthusiasm and openness; the 'old men' and 'children' reflect settled wisdom and fresh trust. Each designation points to a facet of your inner life, all of which belong to the same I AM. When you acknowledge that this one consciousness manifests as every age and attitude, you stop seeking to fix the world outside and begin feeling the unity within. Praise becomes a service of the imagination—an inner alignment in which every part of you is included, nourished, and at ease. By living in the awareness that one life true to itself pervades all stages, you dissolve the sense of separation between youth and age and let harmony fill your experience. The kingdom you seek is not away from you; it is the consistent impression you entertain of yourself as that I AM, already complete.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume: I am the I AM that dwells in every age of my life; youth, old age, and every in-between stage are one presence within me. Feel the unity; breathe it in and know all stages are well.
