Silence Before the I AM

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Job’s line, pleading is not petitioning an external judge but echoing the old ego demanding credit from the I AM. 'Who is he that will plead with me?' asks the inner sovereign: if you argue with appearances, you confine them to their imagined limits. To 'hold my tongue' is to stop feeding the dream of separation; it is surrender to the I AM that never left your side. The God within is not against you, but the very power that animates your life. When you stop arguing and rest in the awareness 'I AM,' the inner movement shifts: fear dissolves, resistance yields, and what you sought externally you now experience as the steady life of consciousness imagining itself as form. The verse thus becomes a call to cease the old petition and claim your true state— that you are the living, conscious presence, already beyond struggle.
