Inner Crown of Dominion

Psalms 8:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 8 in context

Scripture Focus

5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
Psalms 8:5-6

Biblical Context

Psalm 8:5-6 speaks of humanity being crowned with glory and given dominion; in Neville's view, this points to inner consciousness and the power of imagination to govern life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 8:5–6 speaks not of a distant lord over a far world, but of the life you are now. You are the I AM, the aware presence through which God expresses. The phrase 'made him a little lower than the angels' is a relative note in the drama of consciousness; in truth, your being is crowned with glory and honor because you stand in the light of awareness itself. To claim dominion over the works of thy hands is to recognize that every project, thought, or feeling is an offspring of your inner state. When you hold in mind the sensation of authority—see yourself stepping with crowned feet over the inner 'fields' of experience—you begin to command conditions rather than be commanded by them. Your outer world mirrors the inner throne you occupy. The Lord of your life is not outside you but within, the I AM that blesses and empowers. By dwelling in this crowned identity, you revise every scene, and the world aligns to your new inner law. The psalm invites you to awaken to your own sovereignty, not as force, but as alignment with immutable awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: In the next moment, close your eyes, affirm 'I am crowned with glory and have dominion over my world,' and feel the crown resting on your head. Spend a minute letting this feeling real until it colors your thoughts and choices.
