Inner Hearing and Rest

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Psalm 3:4-5 as describing not a literal temple hill but the hill of awareness within. The cry is not a petition to an external sky, but a attention turned toward the I AM. When the speaker raises voice, it is the awakened mind naming a condition and then listening for the response that already dwells inside. In Neville’s psychology, hearing is not heard from a distant heaven, but felt as the recognition that you are the act of awareness itself. The holy hill becomes your inner ground of being where you can stand, and Selah is the sacred pause—the quiet moment when thought yields to the truth you already are. To sleep and awaken, then, is the inner cadence of the mind surrendering to the I AM’s sustaining presence, which is not a future event but the ongoing fact of consciousness. The sustaining Lord is the assurance that, as you rest in the realized state, your external scenes adjust to match the inner conviction of completeness. When you claim, 'I am heard,' you align the mental atmosphere with the truth that sustains you here and now.
