Psalms 29:7-9

Biblical Context

God's voice is described as a mighty inner force that divides the flames of fire. It stirs the inner wilderness and reveals truth in the temple where all speak of His glory.

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a map of consciousness, these lines invite you to hear the voice of the LORD as the steady activity of I AM within. The 'flames of fire' are not distant flames but the charged thoughts, desires, and emotions that leap and threaten your peace. When 'the voice of the LORD' divides the flames, it is your assumption that chooses what to feed and what to quiet, separating impression from impulse. The wilderness mentioned - even the wilderness of Kadesh - is the mind's desolate moments when you forget your true source. Yet the same voice moves through that desolation, waking hinds into calving, giving birth to new states of awareness and releasing the hidden forests of possibility. In the temple, or the sanctuary of your own awareness, every condition speaks of glory when you align with that divine voice. The outer world becomes the echo of your inner state, not the cause of it. You are the speaker; your imagination is God in you; awaken to that reality now by assuming and feeling it real.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner I AM as speaking now; imagine the LORD's voice dividing the inner flames and guiding you through the wilderness. Rest in the temple of awareness until you feel the glory rising within.
