Joyful Recollection Of Holiness

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 97:12 speaks not of external accolades but of the inward posture of consciousness. 'LORD' is the I AM within; 'the righteous' are those who awaken to their true nature. Rejoicing is not a mood you chase; it is the faithful acknowledgement that you are awakened to holiness—the assurance that God is your awareness, your I AM. When you recall holiness, you reset your inner weather: you move from fear, lack, or dullness to gratitude and exaltation. Gratitude then becomes the natural result of recognizing your divine self; it is the echo of your oneness with God. The remembrance of holiness acts as a revision of your self-image: by imagining yourself as the holy presence, you feel the truth as real here and now. The outward act of 'giving thanks' flows as the natural expression of a consciousness that knows itself as God. Thus, the verse is an invitation to dwell in the inner holiness and let the world reflect that state.
