Neville Goddard on Job 10:20-22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 10 in context

Scripture Focus

20Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

21Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

22A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.

Job 10:20-22

Biblical Context

Job laments that his days are few and asks to be left alone to seek a moment of comfort. He imagines a land of darkness where light itself is shadow.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job's words reveal a state of consciousness in which life is measured by days and exodus into a land of darkness. The condition is not 'out there' but inside the psyche, where light is treated as darkness because awareness has mistaken itself for a fading sequence. In Neville's terms, you do not move by circumstance; you create by assumption. If you awaken to the I AM behind all appearances, you can revise this scene: the days you count are the movements of your inner world, and you can interrupt them with a new declaration. Say to yourself, 'I am, and I am always the light that I am.' Rest in that realization, feel the warmth of an unseen sun within, and let it reshape your perception until the land of darkness loses its grip. The shadow of death becomes a mere belief in a separate self; your life becomes an expression of the eternal light that you are.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of light now; revise the internal scene as inner brightness and feel-it-real by softly affirming 'I AM the light' until it floods your sense.
