Inner Fortresses and Palaces

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness, every bulwark you acknowledge is a boundary you have set in the mind—fear, doubt, or old habit. Every palace you name is a state of peace, clarity, faith, or creative power you have occupied. The psalm invites you to examine these inner structures, not as external fortifications, but as the very architecture of your inner kingdom. When you mark them and observe them with calm confidence, you are rehearsing a memory of mastery; you are building a testimony that your inner city is secure and alive. The line 'that ye may tell it to the generation following' becomes a practical rule: live such a realized state that others can sense its truth through your countenance and decisions. Use imagination to reinforce your inner walls, to exalt your palaces, and to permit others to hear of the kingdom you have built within. In Neville's terms, you are not chasing a future event but becoming the observer who declares: I AM the thriving city, and my walls stand because I believe and feel it now.
