Tears to God, Neighborly Intercession

Neville's Inner Vision

Job's voice reveals an inner scene: the isolation of suffering, the scorn of friends, and the untouched longing to have another voice plead before the great Judge. In Neville's psychology, the outer disturbance is a mirror of an inner state of consciousness. Your tears are the efflux of a belief you hold about separation from God. When you notice that longing—'would that someone plead for a man with God'—you are learning to plead with God yourself by becoming the intercessor in your own imagination. See that you are not petitioning a distant deity, but awakening the I AM within you who already pleads by your very attention. The act of imagining another’s good, or your own relief, aligns your inner weather with a new possibility; the scorn you fear dissolves as you assume the feeling of relief, gratitude, and advocacy. This is not mere wishful thinking but a revision of the state of consciousness, a conversion from lack to law, from separation to unity. Your tears become a sign that your inner court is opened to receive the answer you demand.
