Inner Zion: Praise as Creation

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 9:11 invites praise of the Lord who dwells in Zion, and a declaration of His doings among the people. In Neville's inner sense, Zion is the inner realm where the I AM—your living awareness—resides. To sing praises is to calibrate your consciousness toward the exalted note of that awareness, to dwell in the truth that God is resident in you and through you. When you declare His doings, you are not telling others about God as distant; you are naming the outcomes your imagination has already produced. The 'works' are the movements of your state of consciousness becoming visible as forms in your life. The psalmist's command becomes a discipline: renew your sense of self as the honored vessel of the divine, speak of the good you are now experiencing as if it were done, and let your inner and outer conversations reflect that reality. As you persist in this, you shift from seeking God to acknowledging that God has already taken up residence and is actively arranging appearances in your world.
