Beholding The Inner Face

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the psalmist does not seek external change; he declares a shift of consciousness. To behold Thy face is to dwell in the awareness of God’s radiance, a steady gaze that does not waver in fear or limitation. Righteousness is not moral striving alone but alignment with the truth of I AM—the divine vantage point from which all appearances enter the field of awareness. When he says, I shall be satisfied, he names the natural fulfillment that comes when consciousness rests in its own source, not in outcomes. Awakening into Thy likeness speaks of the inner recreation of self by the Power that creates the seen and unseen. The satisfaction arrives as the self wakes to its true identity: the likeness of God as the ongoing fact of experience, a continual dawning rather than a distant future. Thus, the verse invites a present-tense conversion: you are the I AM beholding Itself, and every moment is a fresh inception of the New Creation within.
