Dividing Tongues Within Inner Peace

Neville's Inner Vision

From this psalm, the inner drama is not about external enemies but a call to awaken to the I AM now. 'Destroy' and 'divide their tongues' are figurative commands to dissolve the power of negative voices and the stories that feed violence. The 'city' becomes the mind's crowded streets where thoughts and fears parade; violence and strife are the movements of belief, not acts happening to a separate world. When you cling to the witness of conflict, you reinforce it; when you acknowledge that awareness is the sole cause, you can rearrange the scene. The I AM—your constant awareness—has the authority to dissolve those narratives, to pare away the words that sting and to restore harmony. By imagining that the hostile speech is a projection of a tired mind and then revoking its authority, you divide its tongues and render its bite powerless. In this light, the psalm becomes a prayer for a new state of consciousness in which peace prevails and every inner street is lined with quiet, steadfast love.
