Inner Covenant in Quietude

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard perspective, the words describe not external enemies but states of consciousness that arise in you. The tumult is the mental noise that accompanies fear; those who hate thee lifting their heads are the intrusive beliefs that pretend authority when you forget who you are. The 'crafty counsel against thy people' is your own sly reasoning that tells you you are separate from the Source, that you must defend your position as if life were a contest. The 'hidden ones' are the true you, the I AM within, your covenant partner in creation. When you identify with this inner light, the siege dissolves, because you do not feed the drama with belief. Your true wealth is the awareness that you are the act of God imagining itself. The psalm invites a shift: quench the uproar by assuming the end in your mind, and feel it real as already done. In that moment, you re-enter the inner kingdom where threats are illusions, and your fidelity to the I AM remains intact.
