Inner Psalm: Presence Beyond Time

Neville's Inner Vision

What you call God hiding is a state of consciousness you entertain. The psalmist’s cry, How long, Lord, points to a mind clinging to time and separation. God is not distant; the I AM is the aware presence you are, and the sense of hiddenness arises from identifying with thoughts that deny that presence. The wrath you sense is the fiery energy of old patterns burning away when you resist them with your attention. Remembering that life is short is really a cue to shift your focus from transient appearances to the eternal I AM that operates now. When you revise the scene in imagination and dwell in the awareness that you ARE the imagining power, you dissolve the illusion of distance and duration. Time collapses into the present, and the vanity of striving fades as you claim that you are always in God’s presence—the dreamer of your life becoming the fulfilled dream.
