Timeless Presence in Psalm 90

Neville's Inner Vision

In the psalm the centuries are not outside you but levels of your own awareness. To God, time is a single, unceasing present; what you count as ages are only memories flashing across the screen of consciousness. The thousand years are yesterday when you stop identifying with the body of time and align with the I AM that remains unchanged. The flood that carries them away is the habitual thought that yesterday's conclusions still govern today; when you refuse to be pulled by it, the flood recedes into the background and you wake into the morning grass that grows: a sign of fresh creation, born in consciousness, not in the calendar. You are the consciousness that witnesses movement, not the movement itself. By dwelling in the awareness that you are the I AM, you seat your life in the present, and the dream of old ages dissolves into possibility. Each moment is a new life, not a continued succession of days, if you insist on the reality of your divine nature here and now.
