Inner Defense of the Marginalized Self

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine that the 'poor' and 'needy' are not distant strangers but inner states of your own consciousness—lack, limitation, fear, unrecognized worth. Psalm 82:3 asks you to defend these states by refusing to let them rule your inner kingdom. When you assume the posture of the I AM, you declare that your awareness is the ground of being where justice is already established. To 'defend' is to guard the marginalized you discover within, feeding them with a revision of reality until they become vivid, living truths. Your function is not to change people outwardly but to shift the inner conditions that birth outward conditions. By imagining a just and compassionate inner climate, you align your acts, your finances, your relationships with equity. The 'afflicted and needy' are those who need nourishment in consciousness; giving them nourishment is giving your own awareness a broader, truer expression. Practice the feeling of sympathy transmuted into power, and see your world respond as your inner state holds steady in justice.
