I Am: My Inner Fortress

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the speaker does not beg a distant deity for aid; he asserts that the I AM within is the rock, the fortress, and the deliverer. In Neville's terms, God is not an external power but your own awareness in action. When you acknowledge that you are the rock, you ground yourself in a fixed point of consciousness that cannot be moved by circumstance. When you accept the fortress, you allow the inner mood of security to surround every thought, so fear cannot settle in your chest. The horn of salvation sounds as the inner victory that arises when you refuse limitation and align with your true strength. The high tower is the elevated viewpoint of awareness that overlooks the drama of events, providing calm discernment rather than reaction. Trust becomes a decision of the will: I trust the I AM, I trust my true nature, I trust that this instant reveals the protection, guidance, and mercy already present. Thus the verse becomes a practical manual for revision: assume the reality of your divine state and watch the world conform to it.
