Amos 5:18-20 Inner Darkness

Neville's Inner Vision

Let the words speak as a mirror of your own consciousness. The Day of the LORD is not a distant event, but the moment when your I AM awakens to what you have believed about yourself. To those who yearn for that Day, the text says, it is darkness—not because the day is evil, but because your mind expects light from something outside your present awareness. The fleeing man, the lion, the bear, the man leaning on a wall, and the serpent are inner movements: fear, habit, and pride that advance as you seek security beyond your own awareness. When you lean on the wall of past forms, you invite the bite of the serpent; when you flee, you are still carried by the same restless assumption. The remedy is simple: stop fleeing and stop demanding light from without. In this instant, assume the consciousness of the Day now—feel the I AM as brightness already present. Revision is not convincing a future, but waking to what is already true. As you dwell in that awareness, darkness recedes and the living light of your true self dawns.
