Pricked Heart, Inner Reins
Psalms 73:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 73 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse records a moment of inner grief and a prick of the inner reins, signaling an inner disturbance. It shows how inner states, not external events, move the soul toward distress or release.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this reading, the grief and the prick in the reins are not external facts but states of consciousness you entertain. The awareness you are is the I AM; it remains untouched by transient feeling. When you notice the heart grieved, you are invited to revise: I am the I AM, and I am whole now. Put yourself into the feeling of the wish fulfilled—peace, steadiness, and a calm that cannot be moved by outward circumstance. Dwell in the conviction that these inner sensations are not happening to you from outside, but are your own inner movement of consciousness. As you persist in this revision, the sense of separation dissolves and the prick loses its force. Thus, the psalm's moment becomes a doorway: a signal to return to awareness, to let imagination fashion realities in alignment with I AM.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place a hand on your heart, and breathe deeply. Say silently: I am the I AM, whole and at peace this moment, and feel the new inner steadiness as the grief fades.
