Illuminated by the Inner Candle

Neville's Inner Vision

In Job's cadence, the candle shining on the head is the awakening of awareness: light arising from within to pierce what once looked like darkness. The candle is not a flame outside you; it is your I AM, the observing you that bravely illuminates thoughts, fears, and scenes. When the scripture says the secret of God rested upon the tabernacle, it is naming a state of consciousness in which revelation is not chased but recognized as present. In Neville's style, this candle appears when you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and declare, 'I am the Light by which all is known.' Darkness yields as imagination accepts a new state and refuses to narrate limitation. The reference to youth is a return to a childlike expectancy—the moment you know God intimately alongside you, here and now. The secret of God is the awareness that you are already the expression of divine presence; your inner tabernacle becomes a throne room of certainty, not a distant temple. Practice: dwell in the assumption that this light shines through you as you navigate any circumstance, and revise by affirming the presence of God within, now.
