Hearing Prayer Within the I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

The verse reads you into a scene where the I AM sits as the hearer of every petition. 'All flesh' coming to thee is not a crowd of external voices, but every facet of your consciousness returning to its center for recognition. The word 'iniquities' points to the inner currents that seem to prevail—persistent thoughts and feelings that seem true. Yet the promise 'thou shalt purge them away' speaks of a cleansing that happens within awareness, as you choose to identify with the I AM rather than the flux of appearances. When you merely observe these thoughts without resisting them, you let the light of your own consciousness dissolve them. The moment you declare 'I am the I AM,' you become both petitioner and purifier; the feeling that separates you from your purity dissolves into quiet certainty. In practical terms, you do not beg for mercy from a distant God; you realize mercy and cleansing are the natural functions of your own awareness being awakened to its own power.
