Inner Hearing Of Psalm 58

Neville's Inner Vision

In this psalm you are invited to observe how a poison of belief and a deaf ear toward wisdom arise from a settled state of consciousness. The 'poison' is not a person’s venom but a fixed thought about life, yourself, or others that corrodes possibility. The 'deaf adder' who stops her ear is the stubborn part of you that refuses correction or new imaginative truth. The 'voice of charmers' speaks as every wise suggestion that you would normally resist when identified with the old state. Neville's method would have you understand that the verse does not condemn others but reveals your own mental posture. To change the scene, you do not beg or argue; you revise the state you are living in. Assume you are the I AM, the ever-present perceiver who can hear truth now. By feeling 'I hear wisdom clearly' and 'I revise this false belief,' you awaken a fresh sense of discernment that rearranges your inner environment and, by implication, your outward circumstances. The poison loses its grip as your attention shifts toward a new, alive state of consciousness.
