Biblical Context
Psalm 85:4 asks God to turn us and to cease His anger; it is a petition for inner turning and mercy.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Neville lens, the cry 'Turn us, O God of our salvation' speaks not to an external change in a distant deity, but to a turning within the I AM. The 'salvation' is the awakening of awareness that you are already loved, your heart lifting from grievance into mercy. 'Anger toward us' is the inner resistance of the ego or sense of separation; to cease it is to release the sense that life is punitive or apart from you. When I imagine myself as the I AM choosing to be turned toward peace, the outer world reflects that shift: the memory of fault dissolves, forgiveness arises, and the soul experiences reconciliation with itself and others. The Psalm describes a dramatized state of consciousness: a moment when the inner atmosphere rests in grace because the mind has consented to a new alignment. By repeatedly assuming the attitude of verse, one does not petition a god apart but reinforces the conviction that the inner God is present, active, and salvation-oriented. The end of anger is the end of a self-imposed gravity; a new mood of mercy becomes reality as I dwell in the feeling of being already saved.
Practice This Now
Practice: Assume the I AM is turned toward you with mercy and feel the anger lift. Then declare, 'I am saved now,' resting in that feeling for a minute.
