Mercy Amid Daily Oppression

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville's vantage, 'enemies' and 'oppression' are inner dispositions, not distant armies. The cry 'Be merciful unto me' becomes a call to revise your state of consciousness. You are the I AM; God is not outside but within your awareness. When you feel overwhelmed by daily pressure, do not plead to be spared by powers outside; instead, assume the feeling of mercy now, as if it were already true. Picture the word mercy as a light you carry, dissolving the imagined forces that would swallow you up. See the attacks as beliefs surging in the mind; with the revision, they recede, replaced by a calm, confident presence. Keep the assumption until the sensation of mercy is vivid—the sense that the high God within governs your reality. In this way Psalms 56:1-2 is a practical instruction: change the internal weather, and the external scene follows. Conflict vanishes when consciousness rests in the I AM, and mercy becomes your constant state.
