Vows of Deliverance Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm, the vows are not external obligations but the rising state of consciousness you choose to wear. 'Thy vows are upon me' signifies that you have become the I AM, the committed attention that cannot be moved by fear. When you say, 'I will render praises unto thee,' you are choosing gratitude as your operating principle, placing attention on what is true rather than what seems to threaten. The delivery from death is the loosening of the belief that death is the end; it is a turning toward the life that already exists in consciousness. Your soul is not rescued from peril so much as freed from its imagined grip; this is the moment where the mind stops clinging to fear and starts walking in awareness. The phrase 'walk before God in the light of the living' is a directive: live in accordance with the living God within—your own I AM—so your daily steps are illuminated by certainty, not doubt. In this light, the vows empower a continuous, present-tense praise that becomes your condition rather than your wish, and your life moves in harmony with divine life.
