Awakening Inner Judgment

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage, the LORD you address is not a distant deity but the I AM you are already aware of. The plea to 'keep not silence' becomes a demand that your awareness stop withholding its light from the scene you are living. When you say 'awake to my judgment, even unto my cause,' you are not asking some external judge to arbitrate your affairs; you are instructing your inner movements to rise into clear, decisive recognition. The 'righteousness' of God becomes your standard within, the measure by which you judge every thought, motive, and appearance. Let there be no triumph of fear or doubt over your inner state; let the outer world reflect the justice you already hold as a fact of consciousness. Your enemies are the old images of limitation, fading as you acknowledge the truth of your divine nature. In Neville's terms, the psalm is an instruction to awaken to the fact that God is your awareness and that imagination, rightly held, creates a righteous reality.
