Noon Darkness Within
Luke 23:44 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Biblical Context
Luke 23:44 describes a moment when darkness covered the earth from the sixth to the ninth hour, signaling a dramatic event beyond ordinary light.
Neville's Inner Vision
That darkness is not a celestial accident but a state of consciousness revealed to you. The sixth hour marks a deliberate pause in your daily sense of separation, and the ninth hour invites the emergence of a new awareness that does not recoil from truth but embraces it. Remember, 'God' is the I AM within you; the outer world shows you what you hold as real in your inner life. This 'darkness' is the old self, the worn-out story of limitation, being crucified so a higher self can rise. In Neville terms, the earth-wide blackout is a symbol: a collective inner conviction that you are bound by circumstance. When you regard your life from the I AM — fully awake and uncondemned — the darkness lifts, and a new light asserts itself as your reality. Practice by assuming the fearless assumption that your present condition is already but a passing state, and feel it real until the inner night yields to inner dawn.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare, I AM the consciousness behind all I see; then feel the moment of inner night passing as light. Then revise one ordinary situation as if it already reflects that unity.
