Inner Wages, Divine Protection

Neville's Inner Vision

Jacob’s tale is not about cattle at all, but a parable of the state of consciousness: the outer scene mirrors the inner decree. In Neville’s reading, Laban’s changing wages are the changing thoughts in your mind, and God—the I AM—prevents harm by keeping the inner state intact. The speckled and ringstraked cattle symbolize the pictures your subconscious accepts as reality; the moment you assume, 'The I AM governs my provision,' the world must align to that assumption. The hostility of circumstance fades when your inner conviction remains, for God’s protection is the assurance that no external variation can upend the truth of your I AM. The “ten changes” show how stubborn old beliefs try to rewrite your life, but the divine law refuses to hurt you and instead yields forms that express your now-quiet decree. Therefore, dwell in the feeling of the wish fulfilled: I AM prosperous, I AM protected, I AM the author of my life now.
