Dissolving Enmity Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the psalm I hear not a history of battles, but a direct invitation to the states of consciousness you inhabit. The enemies that melt, pass away, or are swept away are the fears, doubts, and stubborn beliefs inside you. When you bend your inner bow to shoot at limitation, you are only targeting a made-up adversary in your mind; shift your attention to the I AM—the steady awareness that you are. In this light, the waters that dissolve opposition become the movement of your conviction rather than an external event. The snail that melts stands for the slow, persistent habit of thinking you cannot change; you dissolve it by a stronger assumption that you already are the one who governs experience. The untimely birth of a woman—an outworn image that cannot see the sun—transforms as you refuse to feed it with attention. Before your pots can feel the thorns, the inner whirlwind clears the air, removing belief and its effects. Let this read as a technique: know your I AM, assume the fulfilled condition, and let consciousness rearrange the appearance of the world.
