Delight in the Saints Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 16:3 speaks of the saints and the excellent on earth as those in whom the speaker’s delight abides. Neville's reading turns this into a map of consciousness: the 'saints' are states of awareness, the 'earth' a field where those states appear as life. When I say the I AM I am, I AM speaking of the one awareness that resides in you and everything. Your delight is not in people as a mere external circle, but in the inner noble state you recognize within you and others. To be 'excellent' is to hold a refined vibration, a quiet trust, a holiness of attention that refuses to condemn. As you entertain this inner saint, your world reflects it back—people, events, and circumstances become the outward proof of the inner communion. The verse invites you to inhabit the feeling that you are among the beloved, the centered, the trustworthy; the I AM delights in your very being, and your attention to excellence mentors your life toward its good.
