Inner Night, Sacred Choice

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theatre, the night represents a state of separative thinking and fear, a dream where you are cut off from your true self. The verse invites you to stop craving that darkness and to desist from clinging to iniquity, which is a habitual justification of suffering rather than a real condition. The line about choosing iniquity over affliction reveals a subtle but powerful point: you have identified with the story of limitation, thus maintaining it. Yet Behold, God exalteth by His power: who teacheth like him? points to your innermost I AM—the divine teacher within. God’s power is not distant; it is the living consciousness you are. When you align with this inner teacher, your imagination becomes the instrument through which reality is rearranged. The external 'afflictions' soften as your inner state is elevated; the egoic image of lack dissolves as you accept the truth of a unified, ever-present I AM. Your true instruction comes from within, not from without, and your life rises to reflect the conscious state you sustain.
