Psalms 84:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 84 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm expresses longing for God's dwelling and presence. The soul yearns for the courts of the LORD and the living God.
Neville's Inner Vision
Verse 84:1-2 invites us not to search a distant temple, but to attend to the temple you are. The word 'amiable' reveals the beauty and ease of the inner tabernacles where God dwells as your I AM. When the psalmist says my soul longeth for the courts of the LORD, this is your soul signaling a return to the living consciousness that animates every thought, feeling, and sensation. The heart and flesh crying out is the weariness of separation dropping away as you acknowledge that the living God is the very act of awareness within you. In Neville's psychology, desire is not a hunger to be filled by an external god, but the push of awareness toward self-recognition. The tabernacles are states of consciousness you can inhabit by assuming the presence now: imagine the courts as a luminous inner room where attention rests and love governs. As you persist in that assumption, your outer world rearranges to match the inner recognition: you awaken to the living God within as your continuous state of being.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and quietly declare, 'I AM in the living God.' Then picture a radiant inner tabernacle where I AM rests—stay with the sense of presence for a few minutes, reinforcing that you are always the living God within.
