Nearness in the Thick Darkness

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner realm, the crowd represents ordinary thought keeping distance from the I AM. Moses is the awakened awareness that dares to enter the thick darkness—the inner silence where God, the I AM, dwells as your consciousness. Externally the darkness may seem fearsome, yet Neville teaches that darkness is merely the womb in which perception is transformed and the self discovers its true sovereignty. To draw near is to reverse the illusion of separation by turning attention from outward events to the interior state. The presence of God is not a distant event but the realization that you are the I AM, and that you occupy the space where awareness resides. When you linger in that inward stillness, the apparent gap between you and God collapses, and what was once far becomes suddenly intimate. Practice: assume the feeling that you are already in the thick darkness where God dwells, and let the sense of nearness saturate your thoughts and mood.
