The Inner Lord of Creation
Psalms 96:4-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 96 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 96:4-6 extols the LORD's greatness and declares that all other gods are idols. It asserts that the LORD made the heavens and that true worship flows from acknowledging His majesty, strength, and beauty in the sanctuary of consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner life, the LORD is the I AM within you, the sole reality that orders your world. When the verse speaks of the gods of the nations as idols, hear it as a call to drop dependence on external symbols and to image the true ruler of life as your own awareness. The LORD made the heavens; let that mean your inner heavens are created by your acts of consciousness, not by chance. Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary. In your inner temple these qualities are present as your lived reality. As you dwell there, you abandon worship of shadows and acknowledge the living I AM as the source, cause, and sustaining power of every experience. Your life then aligns with an order and beauty that previously seemed distant, and the sense of separation dissolves into the unity of awareness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and deliberately assume the state of being the inner Lord who fills your heavens. Feel the realization that you are the creator of your experience and revise any lack by declaring, I AM the Lord of this inner heaven, and it is so now.
