Inner Psalm: Compassion Conquers Pride

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the contrast is not in the world out there but in your own state of consciousness. The proud and violent voices are but a projection of a mind unsettled; when you do not set them before your eyes, you no longer feed them. The Lord, the I AM presence, is described as compassionate, gracious, long-suffering, and rich in mercy and truth—an inner posture you can assume. By realigning your awareness with that I AM, you shift the very atmosphere in which events move. The 'assemblies' cannot touch your soul when you dwell in the presence that never leaves you. You are not at the mercy of others; you are the God-present awareness, and in that sense every experience is interpreted through mercy and truth. Practice a simple revision: imagine you are already encompassed by mercy, and repeat or feel 'I am enfolded in compassion; I am kept in truth.' In that moment the sense of being pursued dissolves, and your world reflects the new inner steadiness. The key is to keep the divine presence before your consciousness, and let the outer fade into background movement.
