Psalm 4:4 Inner Stillness

Neville's Inner Vision

I speak as the I AM within. The psalm asks, why do you, mere sons of men, turn My glory into vanity? It exposes the habit of chasing leasing—the hollow belief that the outer world can satisfy, while the inward state remains unsettled. Yet embedded in the cry is a paradox: the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for Himself; the godly are a distinct state of consciousness, already wholly owned by God. When I call, the I AM hears—not from without but from within—the I AM answering the invitation of attention. The command Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still, is not external ritual but an inner discipline. Be still, as in the quiet moment before a dream, and let the mind stop its restless chatter. In that stillness, the sense of separation dissolves; I awaken to the truth that I am the consciousness that calls and is heard. The outer world then shifts to reflect this inward state, and manifesting is simply the dream returning to its source in awareness.
