Shadow of Wings: Inner Trust

Neville's Inner Vision

All three lines unveil a simple inner law: God is I AM, the awareness you inhabit. The lovingkindness described is the tender tone you hold toward your own being. When you imagine yourself under the shadow of wings, you are not seeking shelter from without; you are consenting to be consciously protected by the presence you are. Trust is the natural posture of that I AM toward every moment, a state of fullness that satisfies the whole being—the fatness of thy house. The river of pleasures is the continuous, refreshing stream you drink by letting your inner picture expand; you permit life to flow through your sense of self. The fountain of life is within you, a perennial source of energy and guidance; in thy light shall we see light means that as you illuminate your inner state, you begin to see externally what corresponds to it. The psalm invites you to revise your state until joy, safety, and abundance become your habitual atmosphere, realized not by change in the world but by a change in you.
