Deliverance From Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To the one who reads these lines, the words 'Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked' are not a petition to an external ruler but a turning of attention. The 'hand of the wicked' represents the stubborn states of fear, doubt, and harsh judgments you permit to rule your inner life. God, or the I AM, is not a distant savior but the immediate awareness that perceives through you. When you imagine yourself protected by that awareness, you are already delivered; the external appearances merely echo your inner change. The moment you dwell in the feeling that you are held by the I AM, you withdraw power from the imagined cruel man and reassign it to your own consciousness. The verse asks for rescue from cruelty; Neville teaches that liberation comes by revision: you declare, in your heart, that the threat has no reality inside your state of being, and you feel the relief moving through you. Keep that mood until it feels settled and then walk as the free self behind the illusion.
