I AM Shield Against Pride

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theatre of consciousness, the 'foot of pride' is the creeping habit of making self-importance the ruler of feeling, while the 'hand of the wicked' is fear that external forces can remove you from your sense of security. The psalm speaks not of external persons but of inner states. When you acknowledge the I AM as your true identity, pride loses its grip, for you are not defined by it. The 'workers of iniquity' are those thoughts that would cast doubt on your state; they fall away as you persist in the truth that you are the living, aware presence that cannot be moved by appearances. The law revealed is this: imagine from the end, revise every thought of attack, and rest in the certainty of your invincible consciousness, and reality will follow your inner conviction of safety and justice.
