The Night Watch Within

Neville's Inner Vision

The 'burden of Dumah' is not a distant omen but a weight of thought in your own consciousness. Dumah, Seir, and the watchman stand as symbols of inner dispositions; the question 'Watchman, what of the night?' is awareness asking you to observe your current mental climate. Night represents a state of doubt, fear, and unfinished business—yet it is still a creation of consciousness. The watchman is the I AM, the quiet witnessing presence that can revise what you have accepted as real. When you hear that question, acknowledge you have treated the night as ruling you. The remedy is to revise the scene from within: decide the night has passed and permit dawn to enter as present fact. Assume the feeling of morning, repeat silently 'I AM,' and allow the imagined state of brightness to become your lived experience. As you hold this inner fact, the burden dissolves, and you recognize you are the author of both night and morning.
