Inner Lights and Cosmic Mercy

Psalms 136:7-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 136 in context

Scripture Focus

7To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:
8The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:
9The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Psalms 136:7-9

Biblical Context

The psalm states that God made the great lights—the sun to rule the day and the moon and stars to rule the night—yet His mercy endures forever. It sets the day-night order as the proof of that mercy.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the sun and the moon as inner faculties, not distant stars. The sun, which rules the day, is your waking assumption—the clear, affirmative image you hold about your world. The moon and stars, ruling by night, are the quiet inner powers that reveal in dreams and rest, guided by your steady mercy. The phrase 'for his mercy endureth forever' is the unchanging law of consciousness supporting every image you entertain. When you dwell in the I AM—the awareness that you are the cause—these lights spring forth from your inner state. The day you intend is born from a single, steadfast conviction; the night you experience becomes the reflection of that same conviction in the silent hours. Do not seek light outward; turn to the source within and know that you are the author of the cycle, sustained by mercy which never ends. Your imagination creates order, rhythm, and beauty, and mercy is the signature stamp that assures its permanence.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, and revise your day with the supposition: I am the sun that rules this day; mercy endures forever in my life. Feel it real now by dwelling in that light for a minute.
