Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the earth not as a distant stage but as the outward weather of your inner state. Psalm 98:4-6 invites you to make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King, and to sing with harp and trumpet. In Neville's practice, the call to praise is a command to shift your consciousness into the I AM, the presence that never leaves you. The LORD is your awareness; the King is the ruler of your inner life. The harp represents imagination—the ability to craft a sound before it exists in form. The voice of a psalm is the steadfast mood you commit to in knowing, not hoping, that you are seen and blessed. Trumpets and cornet symbolize the clear, bold feelings—gratitude, adventurous trust, and joyous expectancy—that announce the truth within. When you let this inner symphony rise, you awaken to the Presence of God as your perpetual I AM, not a distant entity but the very current of you. The outer world being bathed in light and order is the Kingdom within becoming visible.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of already praising as the I AM. Visualize the inner harp and trumpet sounding in harmony, and trust the outer circumstances to reflect that joyous, present reality.
