Job 30:26-28 Inner Light

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville's vantage, Job's words reveal a state of consciousness under siege. When he 'looked for good' and met evil, and when he 'waited for light' and found darkness, these are not random events but the inner weather of belief. The outer appearances mirror a mind still identifying with lack rather than with presence. The 'bowels boiled' and 'days of affliction' signal the agitation of thought that has believed itself separate from the I AM. The act of mourning 'without the sun' and lifting up a cry before the congregation marks a posture of separation from inner illumination, as though light were a prize bestowed from without. Yet the truth in this text, as in your own life, is that light is always latent within awareness; the shift comes as one returns to the assumption that I AM is the fountain and witness of all. By insisting on the feeling of the wish fulfilled—that good is now my experience, that light fills my days—you rewrite the scene. Darkness yields because you have chosen to identify with the light that you are.
