Inner Light in Psalms 43

Neville's Inner Vision

Trouble outside is but a sign of trouble within the self who assumes separation. When the psalmist pleads for judgment and deliverance, he speaks the language of a mind convinced it is seen from without. Neville would say: the ungodly nation is a belief in lack, a state of consciousness that forgets its oneness with the I AM. The God of my strength is the realization that you are powered by the inner God-present awareness, not by circumstance. 'Why dost thou cast me off?' becomes the invitation to awaken: you are not cast off; you have simply forgotten who you are. To send out thy light and thy truth is to call forth the faculties of imagination and discernment within you—light as insight, truth as alignment. Let light and truth lead you to the holy hill and the tabernacles—the inner sanctuary where you acknowledge your unity with God. Then, the altar of God becomes your exceeding joy; the harp a symbol of the harmonious state you now inhabit. Deliverance is not a rescue from somewhere; it is the realization that the glorious I AM is always present.
