Psalms 94:5-6 describes oppressors breaking the people and harming the vulnerable, highlighting suffering and injustice.
Neville's Inner Vision
All the breaking and affliction spoken of in Psalms 94:5–6 is not happening to you as an external fact, but within your own state of consciousness. The 'people' and 'heritage' are your inner capacities—your sense of truth, your mercy, your justice—moments that can be broken by fear, doubt, and conditioned thought. The widow, the stranger, and the fatherless symbolize aspects of self that feel exposed or unprotected when you identify with lack or danger. In truth, the one who enacts oppression is not some distant foe; it is the habitual voice of separation inside you, the thought that says I am finite, I am at risk, I am unworthy. Neville’s method is to recognize that all events are moves within your inner theatre, and you, as the I AM, can revise them by assuming a different state. Place your faith in the timeless, unassailable Presence within; insist that you are already where you long to be—safe, cared for, just, beloved. Let the old narrative collapse and awaken to the reality of you as consciousness itself.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and declare I AM the Lord God within me. Revise the scene by seeing the inner widow, stranger, and fatherless as already provided for by the abundance of the Self.
