Psalms 150:1-6

Biblical Context

Psalm 150 calls for wholehearted praise of the LORD with every instrument and breath; Neville reads this as an invitation to awaken and align with the I AM within through inner worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the LORD spoken here is not distant but the I AM within, the living awareness that I am. The sanctuary is the quiet center of my being, the firmament of power where thoughts rise and dissolve. When I praise, I am not petitioning a far-off deity; I am acknowledging that the acts of consciousness I live by are already accomplished by the imagination I own. The instruments - sound, rhythm, movement - are faculties of awareness awakening to praise. Each breath becomes a note; each heartbeat a drumbeat in the temple of my inner being. To praise is to align with the greatness I already am, and to declare that let everything that hath breath expresses my vitality. In this alignment, the outward world softens and mirrors the harmony of my inner state, and worship shifts from ritual to the realization of what I am.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already in the inner sanctuary of your I AM; breathe the praise as if it has already filled every chamber of your being. Hold that feeling until it feels real and the world begins to shift to match it.
