Job 10:18-19 Inner Birth Reality

Neville's Inner Vision

Seen through Neville’s lens, this lament becomes a map of inner states. The womb and the birth are not physical events to be endured, but beliefs about who you are. The cry 'Why hast thou brought me forth?' speaks of identifying with a self that can be born and die. The impulse 'I should have been as though I had not been' is the mind clinging to a vanished memory of wholeness it never fully realized. Suffering arises when you consent to a split between the watcher I AM and the restless sense of self. Yet your true self—God, the I AM—never departs from you; all events are just shifts in consciousness within that one reality. The 'grave' is a metaphor for the end of a story about you, not the end of life itself. You can revise this by choosing a new state: that birth is only a belief, and that you are the unchanging awareness that witnesses birth and decay. In that space, the order of creation is your inner arrangement of thoughts; the moment of awakening is the realization that you are the life that was never born and will never die.
