Rock Higher Within

Neville's Inner Vision

When the heart is overwhelmed, you are not at the mercy of outward wind; you are being invited to assume a higher state. The rock that is higher than I is the I AM, the unwavering consciousness that stands above fear and confusion. The shelter and the strong tower are the inner faculties you rely on—steadfast attention and protective imagination that guard you from the sense of attack. To abide in thy tabernacle forever is to dwell in the sanctuary of your true self, where you are always at home in awareness. Trust in the covert of thy wings becomes trust in the invisible support of your own imagining, the quiet sense that you are enfolded by love. Selah marks a pause for the inner revelation to take hold. In this light, your future is built not by escaping circumstances but by choosing the state from which you view them. The Psalmist’s cry becomes a practical discipline: assume and remain in the I AM, and the world rearranges itself to fit that light.
