Morning Dominion Within
Psalms 49:13-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 49 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm contrasts the folly of pursuing outward wealth and approval with the reality that death comes to all; the upright will prevail in the morning, while outward beauty fades in the grave.
Neville's Inner Vision
This passage invites a shift in state of consciousness. 'This their way is their folly' points to the belief that power lies outside or in external standards; the 'posterity' praising such sayings mirrors the habit of mind continuing its old script. Death and the grave are not mere bodily events but inner residues of fear and separation—ideas that the self-image dies to when confronted with the truth of the I AM. The line that the 'upright shall have dominion in the morning' signals the dawning of a new inner state, where alignment with the I AM governs experience and the old, coveted beauty fades as a symbol of external validation. In Neville’s terms, the morning is a transformation of consciousness, the moment when imagination becomes the ruler of form. The kingdom you seek is already within as you identify with the I AM, not with appearances.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling of the I AM as ruler of your inner world this morning; revise any belief that power resides outside you, and feel-it-real that dominion is now established in your consciousness.
