Inner Kinship Psalm Reading

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the words do not declare a breach in blood but a breach in consciousness. 'Brethren' and 'mother's children' are the inner circles of your own being. To feel like a stranger is to identify with a separated self, a story you have told yourself about who you are. The I AM, your true self, is the sense that you are always present, always connected to the Whole. When you read, 'I am become a stranger', hear the voice of the old self clinging to limitation. The reality you inhabit is the one you imagine and affirm. So, you may choose to revise: enter a state in which you already belong, in which kinship is intimate and immediate. See in imagination the inner family gathering around the heart, feel the warmth, hear the welcome, and know that you are accepted by the Living I AM, not rejected by men. As you persist in this new state, outer appearances shift to reflect the inner unity, and the sense of estrangement dissolves back into wholeness.
