Rescue and Praise Within

Neville's Inner Vision

In the theater of your own consciousness, 'Lord' is the I AM—the living awareness you are. The cry, 'how long wilt thou look on?' is not a lament about time, but a belief in separation from this awareness. The phrases about being rescued from destructions and the lions symbolize fears and destructive thoughts that threaten your sense of self when you identify with them. The rescue you seek is already accomplished in the realization that the I AM never abandons you; you stand within the safety of awareness. The vow to give thanks in the great congregation is a decision to shift attention from lack to the acknowledgment of your unity with all consciousness. By assuming the state of wholeness in this moment and feeling it as real, you affirm that you are already rescued and among the great assembly of being, praising from the authority of your own I AM. This inner praise reframes your world: your reality is born from the acknowledgment that you are one with God’s constant presence.
