Inner Kingdom Amidst Turmoil
Psalms 83:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 83 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse speaks of enemies stirring a tumult against God. It can be read as inner resistance within the soul.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's light: The 'enemies' are not external foes but a crowd of beliefs and sensations rising in the mind; the tumult is the mental weather that comes when consciousness forgets its own reality. 'Thine enemies' are thoughts of separation, fear, and pride that lift up their heads and pretend authority over your life. But these images have no standing in the I AM. The I AM is the calm, the aware presence that witnesses without being moved. When you identify with this inner king, the uproar dissolves, for you realize you are not the body contending with a world but the awareness that gives reality to the world. Providence and guidance are not distant; they are the seamless operation of your own consciousness when you inhabit the feeling 'I am' as the truth of your life. The tumult becomes a passing wave under the enduring ocean of awareness, and the imagined adversaries shrink to misperceptions cleared by the light of inner certainty.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, declare 'I AM the I AM that calms all tumult' and revise the scene by placing the mind at a still center where Providence guides you.
