Inner Hymn of Praise

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm, the LORD is not a distant deity but the I AM present as your awareness. The harp, the psaltery, and the ten-string instrument become images of your inner faculties—perception, memory, imagination, will—all tuned to harmony. When you "praise," you acknowledge that your inner state is harmonious, and to "sing a new song" is to invent a fresh conviction in what you already are: the unchanging I AM. The instruction to play "skillfully" with a loud noise is a call to bring decisive, embodied imagination into your day: feel the reality of your inner music with conviction, not doubt. Neville taught that imagination creates reality; therefore, the act of praising now, with imaginative fidelity, awakens a transformed outward experience. Do not seek the outside to grant you joy; awaken the inner chord that makes light, sound, and circumstance cohere to your declared state of consciousness. Your present tone determines your immediate world.
