Inner Yearning for God

Neville's Inner Vision

In this psalm the hart stands as your state of consciousness longing for the water of awareness. The water brooks symbolize the constant stream of God-consciousness available in the present moment. To pant after thee is to refuse the drought of separateness and to recognize that the living God is the I AM you are awareness of. The 'I' is not a distant spectator; it is the very act of consciousness that perceives. When the psalmist asks, 'when shall I come and appear before God?', you are invited to realize that coming and appearing is not a future event but a current transformation of state. The moment you assume the feeling of already being in God's presence, you reorient your inner weather: longing becomes expectancy, absence becomes recognition, thirst becomes nourishment. Do not chase God through external temples or time; cultivate the inner body of awareness and remain there until the sense of separation dissolves. The thirst signals the call to wake to the living God within, here and now, through the power of assumed reality.
