The Way You Shall Not Return
Job 16:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Job speaks of an end of his present life, a final passage from one phase to another. The line invites us to see endings as inner shifts of consciousness, not merely physical death.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Job's terse claim, you are invited to the inner divorce of old identifications. The year and the path he speaks of are not external dates but the closing of a belief about who you are. When you hear 'a few years,' hear instead the limited time you have clung to a certain story about who you are. This dying is not doom but the necessary release of your previous state of consciousness. The I AM, which Job calls coming to the end of a way, stands alive in you as the consciousness that watches the passing of old assumptions. Imagine you have already stepped beyond the old frame; feel the throne of your I AM in possession of a renewed sense of life. The 'not returning' is the soul's refusal to re-enter yesterday's thought-patterns; it marks the birth of a revived energy and a future that is already present in imagination. Your task is to revise within: insist you are the new state now, and watch all circumstances align with that emergent life.
Practice This Now
Assume the end of the old self now; silently say, 'I am the I AM, and I have entered the new life,' and dwell in the feeling of that reality.
