Inner Burden, Inner Renewal

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the speaker speaks of a heavy burden carried by the mind, the iniquities washing over like a flood. In Neville’s sense, these are not outside sins but states of consciousness—the idea that one remains separated from the I AM. The 'burden' is the persistent belief in lack, error, and consequence; the 'wounds' are the decaying memories fed by foolish repetition. Yet the psalm does not demand endless wailing; it invites a turning within. The moment you deny your identification with sin and instead claim the I AM—the awareness that you are, right now, the realm where all possibility exists—you shift the entire field. When you stop narrating the old error, the heavy load dissolves, and the wounds loosen their hold as healing perception returns. The body’s stench becomes merely the residue of a story whose time has passed. In this light, the verses become a meditation on revision: you rewrite your identity by assuming a new state of being and feeling it as real. In that act, the burden is not removed by law but by your surrender to the eternal I AM within.
