Inner Examination of Psalm 26

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this psalm is not a plea to an external deity but a call to awaken the inner I AM. When it says examine me and prove me, it is your consciousness inviting itself to test its current state. The reins and the heart symbolize your desires and motives; observe their movements within and align them with truth. The phrase lovingkindness before mine eyes becomes a guiding image you keep before you, a standard of grace by which you live. Walking in thy truth means an inner integrity that shapes thoughts, feelings, and choices, not mere outward compliance. To avoid vain persons and dissemblers is to prune your associations so your life reflects authentic principle. The act of revision is the practice of reinterpreting every impression through the I AM, so you do not react from vanity or fear but from a settled sense of identity. When you accept this inner reality, experiences rearrange to fit it, proving you already walk in truth in the privacy of your own consciousness.
