Mercy Through Inner Turning

Neville's Inner Vision

Turn thee unto me signals a turning of attention, not an external move. The psalmist names desolation and affliction, but in Neville’s language those words describe a state of consciousness. God is the I AM, the living awareness that never wavers; when you turn to that I AM, mercy becomes your immediate circumstance, not a distant gift. Mercy is the recognition that you are infinitely held by the divine presence within. Desolation is simply a mis-tuning of your attention—you have fixed on lack and pain instead of the steady, benevolent gaze of your own higher self. By turning inward, you revise the self who suffers into the self who is seen and cared for by the I AM. The inner movement of mercy dissolves fear, redefines circumstance, and aligns you with grace. The remedy is practical: assume the feeling that mercy is already present, and allow your inner life to conform to that assumption. In that revision, prayer ceases to beg and begins to realize, in imagination, the true state of your consciousness as loved, protected, and supported by the I AM.
