Shelter of the Inner Pavilion

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Psalms 27:5, the trouble you fear is not out there but a movement of your imagination. When you acknowledge the I AM as your true state, God is not an external savior but the awareness that shelters you. The pavilion and the secret tabernacle are not places in the world but your inner dispositions—restful faith, quiet expectancy, and the unwavering sense of I as the one who stands behind every scene. In the moment of disturbance, I hide within the pavilion of consciousness; I withdraw from the swirl of thoughts and let awareness settle like quiet water. He sets me upon a rock, and that rock is the fixed awareness, a rock of certainty that cannot be moved by appearances. The rock is your unshakable sense of being, the I AM behind every feeling. Trust is not a petition but an assumption: you already live sheltered, already in the secret place, already set upon rock by your own inner authority.
