Biblical Context
Cast me not away from thy presence; take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with thy free spirit.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the presence is not a distant locale but the steady I AM awareness that you are. When you hear 'Cast me not away from thy presence,' you are invited to notice a belief in separation and gently revise it with the certainty 'I am always in Thy presence.' The 'holy spirit' is your own living inspiration, not a possession withheld by God, and restoring the joy of salvation is restoring the felt quality of gratitude, love, and confidence in this moment. 'Uphold me with thy free spirit' becomes a call to align with the free energy of life, releasing fear, embracing faith, and trusting the imaginative power that sustains you. By dwelling in the assumption of one-ness, you awaken the inner dynamics of grace, and the joy and strength you seek arise as states of consciousness you choose to inhabit. The act of imagining yourself already in possession of divine favor turns longing into present experience, transforming the psalm from petition into declaration.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume, I am in Thy presence now. Feel the joy of salvation as your current state and let it steady your day.
