Inner Defense Of Psalm 83

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the psalm is not a historical record but a map of your inner battlefield. The 'enemies' and their 'crafty counsel' are restless thoughts and fear contractions that arise when you forget who you are. When the verse says they have taken counsel against thy hidden ones, listen for the moment you form judgments about your own hidden aspects—doubt, guilt, the memory of separation. The call Keep not thou silence is a summons for the I AM within to awaken and speak through your consciousness. The passage shows that the 'tabernacles' of Edom, Ammon, Amalek, and others are the many forms your old identifications wear: scarcity, limitation, fear, and the habit of seeing yourself as vulnerable. To deliverance, you must refuse their decree by assuming the one reality: you are the I AM, the living presence that cannot be overthrown. In your imagination, dwell as that I AM until the sense of threat dissolves; let the memory of separation fade, so that the name of Israel—your true, unified nature—remains remembered in you alone. Selah: pause, breathe, and awaken.
