The Excellent Name Within
Psalms 8:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 8:9 extols the name of the LORD as supreme across the earth. In Neville's teaching, that Name is your I AM presence expressing itself through every moment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice how the psalmist calls the Name to be exalted wherever you turn. The 'excellent' Name is not a distant title; it is the I AM that you are, the sovereign tenant of every scene. If you can imagine life as the outward echo of that inward sovereign, you have entered true worship. The world does not bless God; your awareness of the Name makes the earth glow with its presence. Your body, your duties, even the smallest event, are occasions for the Name to express itself. This is not boastful pride but the simple recognition that you are dignified, created in the Imago Dei, and that 'earth' is the canvas on which consciousness moves. Separation dissolves as you rest in the unity of I AM, and holiness becomes the ordinary texture of experience rather than a ritual to be performed later. Reclaim the Name as your perpetual reality, and see the external mirror the inward state with faithful reflection.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Assume the state that 'I AM' is the Name in every moment, and feel its reality saturating your surroundings. Carry that feeling through a 5-minute quiet sit, then let it color your next interaction.
