Face of the LORD Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 34:16 speaks a plain truth to those who listen: the LORD’s face is set against evil and would erase its memory from the earth. In Neville's psychology, this 'face' is not a distant judge but your own clear awareness, your I AM looking upon any belief that would degrade you or others. When you acknowledge that you are consciousness, you can turn that face toward the ideation of righteousness and integrity, and with the same certainty the verse describes, the old memory of wrongdoing loses gravity and is displaced by a new reality. The verse invites you to the practice of evaluation and release: you become the witness to thoughts that arise and, by a decisive, loving glance, reject those thoughts as real. Thus, judgment is not punishment handed to others but the inward recognition that evil cannot persist in the world you are consciously imagining. By aligning with the state of holiness, you dissolve the remembrance of past evils and establish a present kingdom where truth reigns.
