Inner Praise Instruments

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 71:22 speaks of a believer joining two inner instruments in praise: the psaltery as the music of imagination, and thy truth as the steadfast conviction that I am one with God. In Neville's light, the Holy One of Israel is the inner I AM, the Presence that stands within every moment. The verse does not beg for outward ritual alone; it invites a shift of state. When I acknowledge thy truth as my own reality, my inner melodies rise, and I begin to sing from the vibrational level of consciousness rather than from external circumstance. The psaltery and harp become symbols of the faculties I use to align perception: imagination, feeling, and will harmonized with awareness. By praising with these inner instruments, I release the belief that separation governs experience. I am not praising a distant God; I am affirming the holiness that resides in me, the Holy One of Israel within. This is a declaration that reality follows perception; the moment I inhabit the inner psaltery and harps and declare truth, I awaken the presence I seek.
