Inner Psalm: Deep Calls Deep

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember this: distress is a state of consciousness, not a fact about the world. When the psalmist says, my soul is cast down, he is naming a tendency of attention that can be shifted by a change of identity. The memory he seeks from the land of Jordan and the hills is a return to the I AM, the inner watcher who never leaves its own. Deep calleth unto deep, not the external sounds, but the resonant levels of mind meeting themselves. The waves and the billows are only surface movements of thought; they pass when you let go into the still, unconditioned awareness that God's lovingkindness is commanded in your life both by day and by night. Your life is an expression of the I AM acting as you; the prayer is simply the acknowledgment of that fact. Do not petition as one lacking; assume the truth of your God-ordained life and dwell there until the sense of separation dissolves. In this space, the heart sings because you know you are seen by life itself.
