Freely Sacrificing in Praise

Neville's Inner Vision

To the Neville reader, the line reads as a command to assume the state of consciousness that is already done: you freely sacrifice, you freely praise, because the good is already yours in your I AM. The 'LORD' becomes not a distant deity but your own consciousness enlivened by attention. When you 'praise thy name,' you are naming and therefore energizing your inner reality, and as Neville often says, imagination creates reality. The act of praising establishes your inner climate; it dissolves resistance and invites the desired conditions to follow as natural expressions. The word 'freely' means without external obligation; you choose the obedience of faith within, which is simply the habit of living as the man or woman who knows the good truth of their being. So make the mental move now: dwell in the feeling of the presence that you praise, feel its order, and let it reverberate through every room of your life.
