Inner Counsel and Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the psalm speaks not of external weather but of the state of consciousness. If you consistently place the I AM before you, you are not moved by circumstance, for your inner sense—your reins—are tutored by divine counsel even in the night seasons. The line 'at my right hand' is a figure for the intelligent, supportive presence that acts as alignment with your true self; when you dwell in that presence, your heart rests in peace and your flesh rests in hope, because you have embraced the truth that God is your constant consciousness. The blessing of the LORD becomes a blessing of your own awareness, a turning toward the inner center that retrains the subconscious and restores vitality. By choosing to identify with this presence, you shift the internal weather: doubt dissolves, courage rises, and the body responds with rest as the natural fruit of right perception.
