Biblical Context
The speaker longs to wander far off and remain in a wilderness. The verse closes with a Selah, inviting inner pause.
Neville's Inner Vision
Psalm 55:7 asks you to imagine a far-off wandering, yet the real movement is inside your own consciousness. The wilderness is not a map of place but a state of awareness where certain desires and fears feel distant from the I AM within. If you accept that you are the awareness that observes all becoming, then the urge to depart loosens its grip. The verse invites a Selah—a pause—where you repair the inner alignment and refuse to let circumstance dictate your sense of home. In Neville's teaching, imagination is the power that plants reality in the soil of now; to 'wander' is simply to drift in mental images until you revise them. By assuming the feeling of being already at home in the I AM, you dissolve the separation between exile and return. The outer world reflects the inner option you hold to be now what you intend to become.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume you are already at home in the I AM, even while the sense of wilderness remains. Sit with a quiet Selah, and let the inner refuge you imagine become your present reality.
