Inner Light Rising
Genesis 1:2-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The text presents a formless earth wrapped in darkness, followed by the Spirit moving over the waters. God speaks light into existence, then sorts light from darkness, naming Day and Night on the first day.
Neville's Inner Vision
On the surface the text speaks of earth and sky, but Neville would have you hear it as your own inner landscape. The void and darkness are states of consciousness you once believed to define you. Then the Spirit of God moves over the waters of your feeling, stirring possibility until a word arises from your I AM center: Let there be light. When you consent to the imagined light, you are not summoning a separate event but awakening awareness itself; light is not merely illumination but clarity of your inner state. God assesses what appears as good—meaning your awareness confirms its own truth—and you divide light from darkness by aligning attention. Light becomes Day and darkness Night through your choice of focus, turning the flux of mind into a patterned day-night rhythm. The evening and the morning are not time marks but the rhythm of your own inner attention, a first day of consciousness from which order flows. In Neville's terms, creation is not history but an inner conversion: from formlessness to form through the power of spoken imagination.
Practice This Now
In a quiet moment, assume you already live in light. Silently say, 'Let there be light' over a present problem, and feel the inner shift as light births clarity; observe the old darkness dissolving into Day.
