Uphold by Inner Light

Neville's Inner Vision

On the inner plane, the speaker does not appeal to a distant deity, but acknowledges that the I AM—the very consciousness you are—ever holds, upholds, and sustains. When you claim thou art my hope and thou art my trust from my youth, you are naming the living presence within as the source of every support, from earliest memory to the present moment. The womb is not a physical place, but the first sense of being held by a timeless power. Your life is a continuous stream of consciousness, and the feeling of being kept upright is not a future gift but a present sensation awaiting your recognition. In Neville's terms, imagination is the instrument by which you awaken to this reality; the moment you feel held, you are selecting the state of being that matches the verse. Faith is not belief about God away from you but realization that you are already held by the Power that made you. As you persist in this inner acknowledgment, praise flows as a natural response, a perpetual testimony of inner alignment and supported living.
