Awakened Vigilance Within

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville Goddard's vantage, the cry is not about a physical attack but a state of consciousness rising within the mind. “They lie in wait for my soul” signals persistent thoughts and feelings that seem to ambush the sense of self—the fear, doubt, and sense of separation that marshal a mighty force against me. Yet the clause “not for my transgression, nor for my sin” reveals an inner innocence—the imperturbable I AM at the center of awareness. The invitation is to awaken the inner observer, to witness the scene without resistance, and to revise it until the sense of danger yields. When you acknowledge that the “awake to help me” is your own consciousness as witness, the imagined conflict dissolves. You do not fix the world; you shift your state. Sit with the awareness that you are the perceiving I AM; declare, I AM here, I AM the protector, I AM the deliverer. The trials become a misinterpretation of reality—replaced by a fresh scene in which fear fades and confidence rises as you dwell in present presence.
