Turned Back for Shame

Neville's Inner Vision

Let us interpret Psalm 70:3 as a spiritual instruction, not grievance toward men but a chart of inner weather. The 'they' who say 'Aha' are the voices of fear, doubt, and judgment within you, not distant enemies. When you align with the I AM, the awareness that you are already whole, the inner movement reverses: the sneer you hear becomes a signal to turn inward and reconfigure the scene. Your assumption that you are already vindicated sets in motion a return of your own energy—the energy that would previously have argued against your good. So the desire for external judgment is displaced by the conviction of inner justice. In this light, 'letting them be turned back' means allowing the outward image to reflect the inward correction—the belief that the I AM governs, that righteousness and Providence guide you, and that you are now secure in your rightful state. Practically, this is a revision: the voice of mockery is renamed as a call to re-enter the throne room of your consciousness where the I AM judges with perfect fairness.
