Lifting the Soul to the I AM
Psalms 25:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 25 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse presents a soul that lifts its inner life to God, signaling devotion, prayer, and trust. It stages an inward ascent—an invitation to awaken the I AM within.
Neville's Inner Vision
I turn my attention to the I AM within, the very LORD of my consciousness. Unto thee signifies the purpose of inner awareness surrendering to divine guidance. The soul's lift is not a plea to an external deity but a shift of states—out of fear, doubt, or distraction into unshakable awareness. In Neville's terms, the soul is the current state of being, and lifting it up is a revision toward faith, trust, and true worship. When I imagine I am already in the presence of the I AM, I align with the law of assumption: imagination creates reality. The 'thee' is the inner God, the I AM that answers not by changing the world but by changing the way I live inwardly. The verse thus becomes a practical discipline: dwell in the sensation of being held by divine life, and let each moment confirm a state of grace rather than a need.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and repeat, 'I lift up my soul to the I AM within.' Then dwell in the felt sense of divine presence until it feels real.
