Neville Goddard on Job 13:1-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 13 in context

Scripture Focus

1Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.

2What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.

3Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.

4But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.

Job 13:1-4

Biblical Context

Job says he has seen and heard all this, and that he knows as much as the counselors. He longs to speak with the Almighty and to reason with God, while calling the counselors liars and physicians of no value.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job’s words reveal the inner state of awareness that has already apprehended the scene. The eye that has seen and the ear that has heard stand for a consciousness that knows the truth beyond external voices. The ‘counselors’ and their ‘lies’ are but the old scripts of a lesser state; you are not inferior to them, for you are the I AM that creates. To desire to speak with the Almighty is to demonstrate the natural urge of the inner self to align with its Source. When you say you would reason with God, you are naming a deliberate internal dialogue in which you revise your premises until they match the truth of your being. The accusation that others are ‘forgers of lies’ and ‘physicians of no value’ exposes the habit of clinging to appearances. Yet the cure is simple: assume the state of communion with the inner God, feel the truth of your oneness, and let the new conviction reform your outer world.

Practice This Now

Practice: close your eyes, declare 'I AM that I AM,' revise the scene to 'I have spoken with the Almighty within and understood,' and feel the certainty as if it is already so.
