Job 3:5-6 Inner Dawn

Neville's Inner Vision

From this verse I hear Job's night as a state of consciousness, not a literal nightfall. Darkness and the shadow of death are the inner attitudes you have unconsciously worn; the cloud that dwells is a mistaken belief that you are apart from your divine I AM. The blackness of the day terrifies the mind because it sees without the light of awareness. When that night seizes you, you have forgotten that you are the I AM, the consciousness that gives ether to time and form. Now imagine you are not the subject of fear but the power that stamps reality with meaning. You do not argue with the darkness; you revise the scene by assuming the opposite of limitation. Feel it real that you walk in a dawn that is already yours, a dawn you simply awaken to by sustained inner awareness. Time becomes a flexible instrument, not a measure of doom. The inner light expands until the night yields to day, and the self knows it has always been the sole author of its story.
