Inner Weeping, Departed Self

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm, the words depart from me are not addressed to people outside, but to the inner states that pretend power over me. 'Workers of iniquity' symbolize the habitual thoughts and feelings that counterfeit the I AM. The cry of weeping is the living feeling of separation from the false self, the sense that I am diminished by fear, guilt, or loss. But the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping — not as punishment, but as recognition by consciousness. The I AM—your true self—listens to every cry, and thus the very moment you give attention to the old pattern, it loses its claim. When you accept that all these outward "voices" are merely mental images within awareness, you can command them to depart. The psalm is a declaration of a new state: the real you, the awareness, has heard the cry and will not permit the old patterns to govern your life. This is not denial; it is alignment with a higher perception that frees you from bondage.
