The Inner Rock Above The Overwhelmed Heart

Psalms 61:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 61 in context

Scripture Focus

2From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Psalms 61:2

Biblical Context

The speaker cries from the edge of his experience when the heart is overwhelmed, seeking a refuge beyond outward circumstance. This Psalm invites turning inward to a higher state of awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the vantage of the I AM, the cry from the far edges of your world is not a plea to an external deity but a movement of your own consciousness seeking alignment with a higher rock. The 'end of the earth' is simply the edge of your present sense of self, the outermost boundary of your current state. The cry is the decision to shift your awareness upward, to 'lead me to the rock that is higher than I'—to adopt a fixed, unshakable posture in the I AM. The rock represents a higher level of consciousness that is always present as your true self, unaffected by circumstances. By assuming the feeling of being already on that rock—calm, steady, attended by God—you dissolve the sense of being overwhelmed. The imagery is not metaphor but instruction: move your identity from the overwhelmed personality to the immutable reality of God within. Your imagination is the ladder that ascends from fear to firm ground; in the quiet, you realize that the rock is you, and the you is God’s awareness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine stepping onto a rock rising above the earth of your daily concerns; declare, 'I am led by the rock that is higher than I,' and feel your sense of self resting there as the I AM.
