The Hidden Face Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 14 is not a report of external rejection, but a drama played in the mind. In Neville's view, 'LORD' is the I AM within you, and the question reveals a state of consciousness convinced that awareness has turned away. The soul's darkness is the mind's belief in separation, a hiddenness that masks the truth of your eternal presence. When you feel cast off, you are not abandoned by a distant deity but identified with a self who has forgotten its unity with the divine I AM. The remedy is not petitions to an exterior power, but a revision of the inner assumption: declare, 'I am always in the light of the I AM; I am seen, I am held, I am present.' In this shift, the face that seemed hidden becomes the illumination of consciousness; the sense of abandonment dissolves as you inhabit the awareness that you are the very God who does not leave. Practice living from that awareness now, and the outer world of sensation will reflect the inner truth.
