Mercy’s Inner Path

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the Psalm is spoken by the I AM—your eternal awareness—remembering itself as mercy. When you remember the Lord’s tender mercies, you do not call upon an outside source, but awaken to the fact that mercy is the mood of your own consciousness. The request to remember my youth’s sins becomes a revision: see those past acts as the old self you drop, not as a judgment upon you, for in the realm of awareness, mercy erases the weight of what was. The Lord’s goodness and uprightness are the standard by which you judge yourself, not by punitive memory, so you allow yourself to be taught in the way simply by being receptive—meek and teachable within. The meek, those who are teachable in consciousness, are guided in judgment; they learn the Lord’s way as a natural mode of being. And all the paths of the LORD—mercy and truth—open to those who keep the inner covenant by honoring your testimonies to your own worth and keeping faith with your promised ideal. Your present state becomes the map by which your future unfolds.
