Three Days of Inner Darkness

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene, the thick darkness is not a punishment but a sign that old mental pictures are dissolving. Egypt represents the outward conditions—the fears, the habits, the sense of lack—held in place by the pictures you entertain. Moses, the emblem of the I AM within you, stretches his hand toward heaven, signaling a turning of attention from the seen world to the unseen source of life. The three days indicate a period during which the old image is stripped away to permit a newer, higher picture to form. Providence operates as your inner discipline: as you cling to the inner vision, the old appearances darken so you may re-create them from the inside out. When you treat the present-tense I AM as your sole authority, darkness gives way to light and liberty becomes your experience. You awaken to a world that conforms to your higher assumption rather than to external appearances.
