Inner Watchman of Night and Morning

Isaiah 21:11-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 21 in context

Scripture Focus

11The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
12The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.
Isaiah 21:11-12

Biblical Context

Plain summary: A watchman from beyond asks about the night, and is answered with a promise that morning will come even if night remains. The message invites you to inquire and to return toward awakening within.

Neville's Inner Vision

When the text speaks of the burden of Dumah and a watchman from Seir, it is not a geography lesson but your own state of consciousness calling for attention. The watchman asks 'what of the night?' and your inner response arises as fear, doubt, or restlessness — the night of separation from your true I AM. Yet the watchman answers with a promise: the morning cometh, and, paradoxically, night may still be present as a possible state. This double pronouncement reveals a law of consciousness: you do not move from night to morning by time, but by turning, enquiring, and returning to the awareness that you are the I AM. The night is not an enemy to be expelled; it is the current vibration of your mind that you can revise by a simple act of assumption. If you will enquire, you are invited to inquire into your inner climate and revise it in favor of unity with God within you. The return, the coming, is the invitation to dwell already in the dawn, here and now, through conscious alignment with the I AM and with faithfulness to your inner truth.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state 'I AM' as your morning now. Hold that feeling until it feels undeniable, and let the night gently fade as you rest in the dawning awareness.
