Joyful Reign Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm you are invited to recognize that Israel is not a distant nation but your own state of consciousness. Rejoice in him who made you—the I AM that formed your being—for the maker is the very awareness you now possess. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King, meaning let the facets of your mind recognize the inner ruler you call King and bow to that sovereignty in present tense. Praise his name in the dance: the dance is the dynamic movement of imagination expressing itself through rhythmic thoughts and feelings; let the timbrel and harp—your faculties of memory (timbrel) and harmony (harp)—play in harmony with your assumed state. For the LORD takes pleasure in his people: your awareness delights in the living state you inhabit. He will beautify the meek with salvation: the humble state of consciousness—open, receptive—will be adorned with the realized deliverance of your true nature, here and now. Your experience of life shifts as you dwell in the assumption that you are already what you seek: joy, praise, beauty, and salvation are your native conditions when you regard your I AM as king.
