Shaken, Yet I Am: Inner Breakthrough

Neville's Inner Vision

Job’s cry speaks from a state of consciousness that knows ease and then encounters a crushing force. In the Neville Goddard frame, the 'he' who breaks is not a man external to you but your own belief pressing against the skin of the old self. The neck represents a constraining identification you have given power to—the belief that you are bound to a fate you cannot escape. The shaking is the movement of awareness waking from sleep, dissolving worn patterns, and dislodging a fixed image of yourself. The 'set me up for his mark' line becomes the sign you have allowed an impression to be written upon you—until you realize the I AM, your pure consciousness, can revise the scene at will. The crisis is not punishment but invitation: a vacancy in which a new self, formed by your assumption, can arise. When you refuse to fear the blow and treat it as a purification, you discover you have not been crushed but redirected into a state from which you can act as the one who writes the next line of your life.
