Hearing Within, Psalm 77

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the cry is not to a distant deity but to the I AM that you ARE. The voice raised in 77:1 is the awakened attention asking itself to remember its own divine listening. The day of trouble and the night sore represent a state of consciousness where old beliefs feel real, and comfort seems distant. When the psalmist says memory of God troubled him and he complained, this is the mind clinging to a former sense of separation. Selah is not a literary mark but a deliberate pause in your awareness, a sign to shift; in Neville’s practice, pause and assume a different inner state. The remedy is to realize that God’s ear is always open to your call, because your call is the I AM listening to itself. By aligning with the truth that you are heard, the disturbing thoughts dissolve, and the spirit is no longer overwhelmed. The "sore" becomes a signal to deepen attention to inner reality rather than to external conditions. The moment you recall God and refresh your inner assumption, you re-enter the presence, and the night yields to the light of consciousness.
