From Darkness to Light Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that darkness is not a verdict but a conditioning of the mind. In this psalm the outer realm mirrors an inner state: led into darkness equals a moment when your attention has enthroned fear or lack, and light recedes from awareness. Yet the verse also carries a subtle promise: light is not extinguished—it is simply not recognized as present by the conscious eye. When I, or you, begin to believe that life is apart from the I AM, we wander in darkness; when we turn the attention inward and declare, I AM, we invite light to become seen as the present reality. The 'led me' is the self imagining a condition into being; the silence and delay become a soil for re-imagining. The remedy is to revise the assumption: assume the I AM is both the perceiver and the light, and feel the truth of light as already here, awaiting your recognition.
