Inner Restoration Psalms 79:2-4

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, Psalms 79:2-4 speaks not of a historical carnage alone but of the inner condition of consciousness. The 'dead bodies' are the neglected or deadened aspects of self—joy, power, faith—that you have allowed to lie exposed to the weather of fear. The 'fowls of the heaven' and 'beasts of the earth' are misused energies that feed on a belief in separation from life. When your blood is shed like water and there is no burial, it signals a mind scattered by anxiety, taking its context from others' judgments and from a sense of exile. Yet the inner law remains: you are not the victim of a world outside but the I AM, the awareness within, that can revise the scene. By assuming the life of God in you—feeling the I AM as your real presence—you can turn lament into liturgy, death into dawn, reproach into upright image. The return is simply a reclaiming of consciousness as life; exile dissolves as you dwell in the one self that never left. The psalm points to the practice: restore inner alignment, and the outer becomes a sign of your restored life.
