Light for the Miserable Soul
Job 3:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Job 3:20 asks why light and life are given to one in misery. It presents misery as a state of consciousness that can be met with inner illumination and a hopeful future.
Neville's Inner Vision
Understand that the light in Job 3:20 is not something added from outside, but the awakenment of your own I AM. The misery described is a state of consciousness longing for a new state to assume. You are the one who must revise by imagination, for imagination creates reality. In your inner theater, become the one who shines; picture a beam of living light entering your chest, warming the heart, softening bitterness, and renewing the sense of a hopeful future. When life seems bitter, dare to acknowledge that the source of life is within you and that you possess the power to revise. Speak in the quiet of your mind: I AM light; I dwell in the life I desire; I am free now from the bondage of grievance. Sit with that feeling until it feels real, and do not seek the flash of outward change alone. The light comes as you persist in the assumption, and restoration follows as a natural expression of your transformed consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imitate a Neville practice: close your eyes, assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled, say 'I AM light in this moment,' and let the sensation of restoration wash over you.
