Psalms 59:4-5

Biblical Context

The speaker asks God to awaken to help and to judge the wicked, asserting that enemies act without his fault and that divine intervention is needed.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the 'they' who run and prepare themselves are not persons to conquer, but states of consciousness arising within you. In the I AM you are not asking for mercy for others; you are turning your attention to the inner governor who is awake and ALL-HOSTING. When you say, 'awake to help me,' you are simply choosing to identify with the awareness that does the action. The line 'visit all the heathen' becomes a call to bring light to every inner habit and belief that opposes your true life. The demand that God be not merciful to wicked transgressors is not a judgment on others but a decision to cease entertaining the old image of moral failure and to insist that the self you are is invulnerable, just, and whole. If you can imagine the I AM truly awake now, your inner conflict loses its power and the outer conditions align with your changed state. The law of imagination here is your inner court: change the ruling, and the scenes of your life follow.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe, and declare 'I am awake now; the I AM within me defends and guides me.' Hold the sense of invincible inner order for a minute or two, until the imagined state feels real.
