Inner Praise Sparks Reality

Neville's Inner Vision

This psalm invites you to discover the instrument of consciousness as the means by which reality is tuned. The ten strings, the psaltery, the harp are not merely musical devices; they symbolize the many faculties within your mind through which God speaks. When it says, 'thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work,' you are affirming that your awareness finds joy in the manifestations of your imagining. 'I will triumph in the works of thy hands' becomes a decree: you triumph by standing in the conviction that the images formed in consciousness are real and harmonious, not fantasies. 'O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep' points to the depth of your inner order—the I AM, your present awareness—perceiving that all creation is an expression of your state. The warning that 'A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this' translates to moments of distraction when you forget you are the soloist and the audience, the creator and the created. In Neville's sense, your outer world is the echo of your inner state. If you dwell in gratitude and assume the state of fulfillment, the world must reflect that, and your day joins in the harmony of the inward song.
