From Night Into Inner Light

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Job’s words, you hear a man living as a memory of yesterday, a self whose plans are chipped and whose thoughts have become shadows. Yet the verse is not a confession of final doom; it is a map of a mental city built in darkness, where night is mistaken for day and light shortens because fear has occupied the room of awareness. In Neville’s teaching, this is the mind's mistaken identification with a past self and with the sensation that time itself has run out. The I AM within you is untouched by the broken plans; it waits for a faithful revision. The tomb is not a literal place but a state of consciousness—the moment you placidly accept limitation, you “make your bed in the darkness.” The healing is to assume the state you desire as already real: you are the I AM, and your imagination must be treated as the instrument by which you re-create your world. Begin now to revise: see yourself alive with purpose, feel the light returning to your eyes, and dwell in the feeling of restoration. When you persist in that assumption, you awaken the day within and discover your life is not ruled by yesterday’s endings.
