Suffering Turned Into I Am Reality

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 22:16 reads like a scene of outward assault, yet a Neville reader knows the scene is a state of mind. The dogs and the assembly of the wicked are not persons but your own thoughts—fear, judgment, and the feeling of being surrounded by hostile forces within. The piercing of hands and feet symbolizes a belief that you cannot act, move, or express life freely because you are fixed in a trap of circumstance. Remember: God is the I AM, the unchanging awareness behind every scene. If you identify with the pain or the crowd, you feed the drama; if you awaken to your true nature as the I AM observing the play, the entire picture shifts. The verse becomes a doorway into reimagining the moment as fulfilled now. See the persecution dissolve as you stand in the certainty that you are whole, unbound by imagined chains. The so-called enemies fade when you claim your unity with the I AM, and your life is rearranged by the conviction that consciousness creates form. In that light, suffering yields to power and the old self dissolves into the new.
