Dust to Mercy Rising

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the psalmist confesses: the soul is bowed down to the dust, a consciousness overwhelmed by the material picture. But in that confession lies a doorway. Arise for our help is not a plea to some distant power; it is the inner decree that the I AM within you is awake and operative. 'Redeem us for thy mercies' sake' is a recognition that mercy is the nature of your own awareness when you align with it. See the dust as a mental image, not a fact; feel the belly loosened as you refuse to identify with limitation. In imagination you rise; you act as if this redemption already stands present in your life. Your sense of self becomes the state of the I AM, and the world rearranges to reflect this inner truth. Do not resist; simply assume the feeling of being lifted, of mercy active now. When you persist in that feeling, the apparent need for rescue dissolves into the certainty of grace realized.
