Inner Sea Calmed

Neville's Inner Vision

Your attention is the ship; the sea and its rage are the wandering thoughts that pretend to govern you. But the psalm speaks of a deeper reality: the I AM within you rules the weather of mind. When waves rise—anger, doubt, longing—the I AM does not struggle with them; it simply commands stillness. The 'ruling' is your radical assumption: you are not at fate's mercy but an unshakable center of awareness. By identifying with the I AM, you stop trying to change the storm from the outside and begin to shift the weather from within. In imagination, you dwell in the quiet harbor of your own awareness and notice that the sea cannot help but follow the law of consciousness you inhabit. The fear-breeze dies as you affirm that peace is the natural state of your mind, already true now. As you persist, the inner waves settle, and you discover that the outer world follows suit, aligning with your revised assumption.
