Under Wings of Truth

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this psalm as a window into your own state. The 'snare of the fowler' and the 'noisome pestilence' are not distant dangers so much as the fears and doubts that trap your mind. When you acknowledge that you are the I AM, awareness itself, you deliver yourself by turning from fear to the certainty of being unmoved, for deliverance begins in consciousness. 'He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust' becomes your practiced posture: you retire from turmoil into the inner shelter of the I AM, where the feeling tones of protection are felt as real now. The 'truth shall be thy shield and buckler' is not a weapon outside you but the consistent, unwavering conviction that your awareness is unassailable. Thus the outer circumstances respond to the inner image: you are already safe, already protected, and the world discovers that truth when you live from that inner nesting place.
