One Mind Through the Darkness

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the lines reveal not a distant judgment but the inner state of consciousness called by many names. 'He is in one mind' points to the I AM that never wavers, the fixed state in which your desires and the world you perceive are harmonized. When Job says, 'what his soul desireth, even that he doeth,' he speaks of your internal law: your deepest imaginal acts, when believed, are the root of outward events. The 'thing that is appointed for me' is the direction your inner self has crafted; many such things are with Him, meaning countless revisions and revelations dwell within the same timeless awareness. Fear and troubled presence are not punishments but signals: resistance to the adjustment of consciousness to its true decree. God 'maketh my heart soft'—the heart that softens into trust when you stop bargaining with appearances. The darkness is the theater where you meet your own finite self and choose to awaken to the light that has always been your I AM. You are not severed from the divine; you are waking to it, through every trial as a teacher of recall.
