The Inner Hearing Of Hope

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the verse, you are not praying to an external god so much as aligning with the I AM that you are. In thee, O LORD, do I hope means you let your consciousness rest in the listening presence that never forgets you. Hope, in this sense, is a state of remembrance—the awareness that the I AM is always ready to hear, respond, and fulfill from within. When you accept that God hears, you stop oscillating between lack and longing and begin to act from the assurance of communion. Your future becomes the ripple of this inner certainty, for imagination is the instrument by which the I AM speaks into form. To interpret the verse Neville-style: the LORD is your own center of awareness; the act of hoping is an assumption that the Self is already heard and attended to. Delays dissolve as you dwell in that present perception; you are the listener and the one heard, and the world reflects that imaginative state back to you. The practice is to dwell in the hearing, not the petition, until belief and sensation align.
