Dwelling in Truth and Uprightness

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm the dwelling place is not a place on a map but a state of consciousness you enter by faith in your own I AM. The 'tabernacle' and 'holy hill' are inner dispositions—uprightness, righteousness, and truth stored in the heart. To think and speak what you deeply are, you must imagine yourself as one who none of the tongue wounds, who harms no neighbor, who does not repeat a reproach. When you hold that vision, you align your outer world with that inner law; you stop projecting slander and cease to cut with words, because you now know you cannot 'go outside' your own inner condition without altering what you have assumed about yourself. The scripture becomes a practical instruction in self-creation: believe you are the upright man, feel the moral atmosphere of that being, and let the surrounding events reflect that inner state. Your reality will respond to that inner fidelity; you dwell where you imagine you are, and your life becomes the house you have built in consciousness.
