Psalm 46: Inner Refuge

Neville's Inner Vision

Here you are, not chased by storms in space, but within the ongoing consciousness you call your life. The earth removed and the mountains cast into the sea speak not of external chaos but the collapse of old structures in your imagination. When you accept that God is the very present I AM in the midst of you, the sense of danger dissolves into stillness. The river that makes glad the city of God becomes the living current of awareness flowing through your being—the streams of invention, intuition, and grace that refresh the sacred center. The city of God is not a distant temple; it is your own consciousness, the tabernacles of the Most High. If you dwell there, you are not moved by upheavals; help comes 'right early' as a shift in consciousness, not a rescue from without. Your task is to assume that you are this sanctuary, that the I AM is your daily atmosphere, and that every fear-question you present is answered by your inner presence. In practice, your faith is a revision of circumstance into the reality of God within.
