Inner Vindication Through Prayer

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm, the cry is not for vengeance from a distant judge, but for the awakening of consciousness to its own divine authority. The 'heathen' who say, 'Where is their God?' represent the undisciplined thoughts that forget the I AM and threaten to scatter our steadiness. The 'blood of thy servants' recalls the sacrifices we make in keeping faith with that internal fact of being, and the call to have this blood revenged becomes an insistence that the inner self will not be mocked. When the prisoner sighs, it is the sense of limitation that seeks release; your inner God answers by power that preserves those 'appointed to die'—the old forms of fear and nothingness that must pass away. The demand to render sevenfold their reproach is the discipline of refusing to identify with external taunts. Instead, rest in the knowing that the I AM, your true self, has already resolved every issue. Trust the inner law of consciousness: your present imagining creates the conditions you inhabit.
