Inner Listening Psalms 55:1

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this verse reveals that the speaker's prayer is a movement of consciousness, not a distance to be bridged. 'Give ear' is the inner listening of the I AM, the awareness that never sleeps; 'hide not thyself' is the mistaken belief of separation that wakes when you identify with lack. When you stand in the reality of the I AM, you do not beg from a distant God, you assume the state of being already heard. The supplication becomes a revision of your inner climate: treat the moment as if your desire is already granted, feel the assurance as a present fact, and let imagination do the answering. The verse thus invites you to shift from petition to identification — to align with consciousness that can hear and answer from within. Your prayer is not a plea to God out there; it is a turn of attention to your own inner God, the living I AM, who recognizes you as whole and complete.
