Inner Cymbals of Praise
Psalms 150:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 150 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse calls for praising God with loud cymbals; it signals a fullness of worship that is expressed in sound. In Neville's view, this outward rhythm mirrors an inner consent—a state of awareness tuned to the I AM.
Neville's Inner Vision
To praise him with the loud cymbals is to audition the mind for harmony with truth. The cymbal sounds are not found in a temple beyond you, but in the temple of your own consciousness. When you entertain the conviction that you are already blessed, you hear the cymbals within—the pulse of I AM praising itself. The louder the inner rhythm you accept, the more your world rises to meet that resonance. The outer scene, the bodies and things, move in response to the vibration you sustain in awareness. So the call to praise becomes a discipline of inner attention: refuse to doubt the presence of God within, and let the mind reverberate with the truth you demand into form. You are not petitioning God to come near; you are becoming the instrument by which God plays. Watch for thoughts that align with your inherent worth, and sustain them until they feel real.
Practice This Now
Practice: Sit quietly, close your eyes, imagine your inner temple and hear the loud cymbals; declare 'I AM presence now' and hold the felt state of being praised for a minute, letting the vibration saturate your consciousness.
