Light Divides Darkness Within
Genesis 1:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God sees the light as good and divides it from darkness, establishing order. In your inner life, light represents awareness and darkness represents belief; the division marks the shift from confusion to coherent experience.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the mystic within, this verse is a map of inner life. God does not move light across space; He recognizes light in the mind and names it good. The 'dividing' is the inner decision to distinguish what you are aware of from what you are not choosing to identify with. When you assume the state of the I AM, you are the observer who sees light and calls it good, and you are also the divider who separates a desired state from its opposite. The light is your clarified sense of self, the darkness your old, unintegrated belief. Each moment you refuse to mix them, you are doing what God did: you set order, you bless what stands, you remove blending of opposites. Practice by imagining I AM as the light that calculates truth in your mind, and affirm that the visible life reflects the mental order you praise in prayer. Your world becomes what you persist in focusing on, because the I AM light never ceases to shine within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the consciousness of light within you now and declare, 'I AM the light that sees and divides.' Feel the order blooming through your life as you dwell in that light.
