Inner Armor of I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that this psalm does not request relief from real people but reveals a contest within consciousness. The 'enemies' are troubling thoughts that rise when you forget who you are. 'When shall he die, and his name perish?' is the mind's impulse to erase the old self and fear. 'If he come to see me, he speaketh vanity' shows the ego's vanity clinging to appearances. 'All that hate me whisper together against me' is the inner consensus of lack and separation. In Neville's method, the scene is a projection of your current state of mind. The cure is not to fight but to shift: assume a new state where the I AM is present here and now as your reality. By dwelling in the I AM, you revise the scene: old voices lose authority and the death of the old name dissolves into light. When you imagine yourself already safe and whole, the adversarial voices fade, and your true identity (awareness) remains untouched by their whisperings.
