Inner Salvation of Jacob's Trouble

Neville's Inner Vision

Jacob’s trouble, in this light, is not a future calamity imposed on a people, but a momentary flux within your own consciousness, a surge of fear or doubt that exposes what you are not yet aware you are. The great day is the threshold where the locked belief ‘I am separate’ shakes to its core. Yet the verse promises salvation—and Neville’s method tells you salvation is a revision of being, not a rescue from without. When you feel the pressure of this inner night, imagine the I AM standing present, the sky of your awareness clear, and declare that this distress is simply the form your consciousness has adopted to wake up. Do not chase the outer outcome; transform the inner state by assuming the end: you have already been saved, you are already one with God, and this moment confirms it. The trouble is a signpost, pointing you to rest in the One who is ever awake within you.
