Praise the Holy I Am Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line, the 'great and terrible name' is not a distant title but the I AM you awaken to in every moment. When you utter the Name, you fix your attention on the one Power that fills consciousness. To praise that Name is to align thought and feeling with the reality you already are: a living, attentive awareness. Holiness, here, is a state of pure consciousness, a sanctuary within where fear dissolves and clarity remains. In Neville’s sense, the verse is psychological: reverent attention creates a corresponding state, and that state invites outer form to follow. The emphasis on 'great and terrible' invites awe, not fear—power rightly directed by love. When you dwell in that I AM with sustained praise, you claim the truth of your present experience and let imagination cooperate to re-create your world. Your inner ceremony becomes your outer life, as consciousness rearranges itself to match the inner assumption.
