Clothed Skies, Inner Dawn

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard spirit, the verse is a map of consciousness rather than weather. The 'heavens' are your inner states; when you entertain fear, doubt, or separation, you clothed the sky with blackness and wear sackcloth as the habitual view of lack. The act of clothing is done by the I AM—the aware self that creates experience—so the imagery invites a deliberate revision. Rather than resisting the darkness, you recognize it as a signal to shift your state. Exile and return become inner movements: the mind experiences a temporary separation, then awakens to Providence as guiding presence. By choosing a new assumption—one in which the sky is already clothed with light and the sackcloth of doubt is discarded—you align your outer circumstances with this renewed inner climate. The outer scene will follow the inner climate once you claim the awareness that you are the creator of your own atmosphere.
