Psalm 21:6 Inner Blessing

Neville's Inner Vision

To the awakened self, this verse proclaims a state, not a distant event. The speaker is blessed because the I AM is turned toward him, and his inner world responds with joy as if the divine countenance were lighting the face of consciousness itself. Neville's reading asks you: who is the you who is blessed? Answer: the present I AM, the awareness that can imagine and feel. When you accept that God’s gaze is fixed upon you, you no longer seek blessing as something outside; you experience it as your own inner atmosphere—a sudden widening of feeling, a lift of mood, a confident sense of being favoured forever. The countenance is more than a look; it is an attitude of awareness by which everything in you is touched and rearranged. Joy does not come after, but from the assumption that you are seen by the living I AM. By recognizing this interior gaze as real in your imagination, you activate the very state Psalm 21:6 describes: blessedness that endures and gladness that radiates from the inner sight.
