From Night to Inner Light

Neville's Inner Vision

Your verse is not a history of conditions but a map of inner state. When Job says they change the night into day, he speaks of a consciousness that calls reality by its mood. In Neville's psychology, the night is a belief—an old habit—that prevents dawn. The light is short because of darkness translates to: you shrink the light by dwelling in fear, so awareness seems to fade. But you can invert the terms: awaken to the I AM that never slumbers; claim that the day is always present in consciousness, and darkness is but a passing mood. The line about waiting and the grave as house exposes passivity: to stay waiting is to feed the dream of mortality; to revise is to refuse the old image and assume a new one—your life now as abundant, your tomb emptied of limitation. The true I is the one who makes the bed in light, not in gloom. When you identify with that inner self, the night dissolves into a remembered dream, and the tangible light of your awareness becomes your dwelling.
