Inner Works of Joy

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the I AM breathes the memory of those works, and when you acknowledge them as your own, you become glad. The 'works of thy hands' are not distant acts of God outside you, but the manifestations of your disciplined imagination in the flesh. To 'make glad' is to shift into the state that perceives order, to trust the idea that consciousness creates form. The 'great are thy works; thy thoughts are deep' points to the vast, unseen currents of mind that govern harmony and purpose. Those who call themselves brutish or foolish cannot ponder this depth because they cling to surface appearances or fear the unknown. In Neville's terms, you rise by assuming the state of the creator—the I AM who experiences joy, triumph, and creative control. When you dwell in that assumption, the inner works unfold as outward events, and what you call 'hands' are your own acts of awareness shaping circumstance. The key is to feel the truth of your divine prerogative here and now, letting the deeper thoughts guide every moment.
