From Darkness to Inner Light

Psalms 143:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 143 in context

Scripture Focus

3For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
Psalms 143:3-4

Biblical Context

The passage speaks of a soul persecuted by an unseen foe, pressed down and dwelling in darkness, with a spirit overwhelmed and a desolate heart. It cries for relief and a turn toward inner strength.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this lament, see the persecutor not as a person but as a state of mind—the shadowy chorus of fear, doubt, and memory that presses on your awareness. The enemy that has persecuted your soul is your own unsettled consciousness projecting lack and limitation. Darkness is not a place but a mis-taught home where attention forgets its unity with I AM. When the heart says desolate, that is a call to revise the sense of self, to re-anchor in the I AM, the solid you that never departs from creation. Neville's method asks you to remain as the witness, to refuse to identify with the moving picture of persecution, and to imagine the state you desire as already fully present. Do not beg or plead; assume. See the light as already shining behind the scene, and let feeling follow the assumption until it feels real. The moment you dwell in the inner certainty I AM, you reframe every circumstance as a sign of your inner sovereignty. Persecution dissolves not by escape but by transformation of the consciousness that experiences it.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of your I AM, imagining a radiant center at your core that nothing can touch. Remain in that revision until the sense of desolation dissolves and you know you are the light.
