Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the text as a map of your inner landscape. 'Praise ye the LORD' is the I AM's decision to attend to its own radiance. 'In his sanctuary' and 'the firmament of his power' point to the quiet sanctuary of awareness and the field of power you carry as consciousness. The instruments—trumpet, psaltery, harp, timbrel, dance, stringed instruments, organs—are the faculties of mind and feeling you use to express life. When you praise, you align with the reality that God is not distant but within, your own I AM awakening to its royal presence. The mighty acts and wonderful greatness you name are inner experiences that confirm your being and open the channels of grace. As you sustain this inner worship, you discover that your outer world becomes a mirror of your inner state; deeds, opportunities, and energy respond to the tone of gratitude you have assumed. The psalm becomes a daily practice proving that imagination creates reality.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the feeling 'I AM praising God now in my sanctuary,' and let the sense of His power fill you. Imagine yourself surrounded by the instruments of life singing your inner creed into outer form.
