Inner Refuge: Wings of Protection

Psalms 17:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 17 in context

Scripture Focus

8Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
Psalms 17:8-9

Biblical Context

Psalm 17:8-9 pleads for divine protection, describing God as a shelter and the seeker as the apple of the eye guarded by wings.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's psychology, this verse is not about external protection but a state of consciousness. The apple of the eye becomes cherished awareness—the very act of perceiving your world. To be kept under the shadow of wings is to hold attention on the I AM, the unshakable sense of self that cannot be harmed. Envision God as your inner realm, where threats are only movements of fear within consciousness. By assuming the state of being protected, you revise the impression of danger and awaken to a present reality in which you are cordially sheltered by the divine I AM. Each moment is an opportunity to return to that awareness, to feel the wings as your own supportive breath, and to know you are indeed kept safe by your own consciousness of God, here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and repeat, I am the I AM; I am kept, I am protected, under the wings of the divine. Feel this as your immediate reality for a few minutes.
