The Ninety-first Psalm is one of the greatest chapters in the Bible. Like the rest of Scripture, the underlying thought is developed through a series of symbols, and it is by the appreciation of the values lying behind these symbols that the power of this prayer is appropriated.
The way to get the most out of this psalm is to read it through quietly; pausing after each clause to consider the meaning and assenting to this mentally. If you are fearful you will find, after working through the prayer two or three times, that your fear will have gone and that you are now looking at things from a different point of view.
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the almighty. (Psalm 91:1).
The Secret Place of the most High is your own consciousness, and this fact is the most important practical discovery in the science of religion. The error usually made is to suppose the Secret Place of the most High to be somewhere outside of yourself, an error fatal to our hopes, because our success in prayer depends upon getting some degree of contact with God; and since He is only to be contacted within, as long as we are looking without we must fail in our objective. Jesus emphasized this truth, The kingdom of God is within you. Again, he said that when we pray we are to enter into the closet and shut the door, meaning, to retire in thought within our own consciousness. In fact, this doctrine of the Secret Place and the wonders that can happen therein is taught throughout the Bible.
What a glorious truth is contained in today’s message. God is within us and, God’s Kingdom is within us. God is not somewhere else; he is present within us. When we look inside for God’s Kingdom, for God’s presence and God’s consciousness, we are on the true path to oneness with God.
It is when we overcome the idea that self is separate from God, that we become one with God’s consciousness (the Holy Spirit) within us. When we realize we are one with God, then we can live in the Eden created for us.
