Inner Reunion in Darkness
Psalms 88:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 88 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse expresses abandonment by a lover, friend, and acquaintances, conveying a deep sense of isolation. In Neville's view, this isolation is a mental state, not a fixed outer fact.
Neville's Inner Vision
What you read here as loss is an inner movement of your own consciousness. The psalmist names separation as an outer event, but Neville reveals it as a state of mind you occupy. You are the I AM, the awareness that witnesses both absence and return. When you feel someone far away, you are merely believing in distance; darkness is a mental veil that can be lifted by a deliberate act of assumption. Do not seek to change others; change your sense of self, revise the inner scene to declare that companionship is present now. Assume the feeling of closeness, recall shared breaths, and feel the nearness as your natural state. In that act, exile becomes return; the Presence of God, the inner light, returns to illuminate the room you inhabit. Your future is not distant but a shift in consciousness toward the memory of fullness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe, and revise the scene: imagine the lover and friend standing near you, their voices warm and present. Feel the truth that I AM with you now, and let the sense of separation melt into presence.
