Neville Goddard on Job 3:3-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 3 in context

Scripture Focus

3Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.

4Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

5Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

6As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.

Job 3:3-6

Biblical Context

Job curses the day of his birth and the night of conception, wishing darkness on his life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job's cry is a state of consciousness, not a history lesson. The 'day' and 'night' symbolize inner habits you have accepted as real. By repeating 'Let that day perish' you reveal a desire to revise your self-image; the light comes from within the I AM, your conscious awareness. In this method, you shift from lament to intentional imagining, feeling the new state as already real, thereby reordering your calendar of identity. Darkness becomes raw material for awakening; the year and months of your life are remade by a renewed sense of being, one that endures and shines through trials.

Practice This Now

Practice: in a quiet moment, assume the feeling 'I AM consciously and now whole' and dwell there until it feels real; then linger in that light as you go about the day.
