Inner Mercy in the Night

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner drama of Psalm 6, the LORD you speak to is the I AM within you, the ever-present awareness; the requests not to be rebuked in anger and to be healed are invitations to revise your mental state, not appeals to an outside deity; when bones are vexed, the soul is sore, and night is spent in groaning, these are inner movements—habits of fear and separation you can dissolve by turning toward the mercy already resident in you; how long is the question you answer by assuming a new state: that mercy, delivery, and remembrance are your natural condition in the present; the line about mercies' sake anchors your choice to align with that merciful presence; death here stands for a misperception of finality; you choose to awaken from it by dwelling in the living I AM; healing then becomes a revision of consciousness, a return to the remembered truth that you are eternally cared for and alive in the divine presence.
