Rock and Redeemer Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm the scene is not distant history but a map of consciousness. When days are spent in vanity, the mind has wandered from the I AM; the trouble that follows is the invitation to return to awareness. The memory that God is your rock and the High God your redeemer is not an event but a state you choose to inhabit. By treating God as rock you establish a foundation that cannot be shaken; by honoring him as redeemer you acknowledge a restoration of unity and purpose. The cycle of neglect and return mirrors the movement of consciousness: you drift into distraction, then return in clarity. In Neville terms you are always choosing your reality by the state you inhabit; salvation is the moment you refuse to leave the I AM and accept that it has never left you. The vanity you complain of is simply the resistance to this remembrance falling into place. Remember that the Psalmist shows us the pattern: recall the rock, invoke the redeemer, and you are led home to fullness.
