Psalms 82:6-8

Biblical Context

The psalm declares that people are made in God's likeness and possess true authority. It also warns that this power can fade unless awakened, and it calls God to arise and reveal dominion.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm, 'ye are gods' is a notification to your inner state: you are the I AM, the living awareness that makes your world appear. The phrase is not a boast about others, but a reminder that your sense of being is divine. 'Ye shall die like men' points to the old identities—the habits and beliefs that have seemed to fix you in lack or fear. When you cling to those images, you die daily to your possibility, as surely as the prince falls when his sense of power is misplaced. 'Arise, O God, judge the earth' invites the awakening of your inner governor—the I AM that orders thoughts and feelings and selects the implications you will inhabit. 'For thou shalt inherit all nations' signals that when this inner sovereignty is established, external circumstances bow to the same law of consciousness. The psalm thus becomes your manual: revise every limitation by feeling the truth of your dominion, and allow the world to reflect the order of your awakened mind.
