Hearing the Right Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that hearing is not a distant external act but the inward listening of your own I AM. When the psalmist says, Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, he is teaching you to align your inner state so that your consciousness 'attends' to its own petitions. The right thing is the state of consciousness that already is true; the 'LORD' is simply the I AM you are aware of. Feigned lips are the tremor of fear masquerading as prayer; they close the ears of your inner God. To break that spell, refuse to entertain insincerity. Turn your attention to the feeling of being heard, to the certainty that your petition arises from truth and is already accepted by Presence. When you revise doubt and replace it with steadfast conviction—'I am heard; I am loved by the Presence I am'—the cry becomes a roar of faith rather than a plea of lack. In that inner act, your life is rearranged to reflect the truth you assert, and God attends to you, not as an external auditor, but as the I AM that you are.
