Wrinkles as Inner Witness
Job 16:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Job 16:8 presents wrinkles and leanness as a witness against him, signaling outward signs mirror his inner state.
Neville's Inner Vision
See that the wrinkled visage and wasted frame are not facts about your body but symbols of a state of awareness you have accepted. In Neville's language, you are not at the mercy of appearance; you are the I AM, the consciousness in which all images rise and fall. When Job says these signs witness against him, he names simply the habit of identifying with a belief of deficiency. The fullness of your I AM can revise this witness by assuming a new state: that you are whole, unlimited, beloved of God, and immune to lack. The body will reflect the inner assumption; let your attention rest on the feeling of invulnerability, health, and dignity as constant. Practice the shift by assuming I AM that I AM now, and feel that reality as if it is your present sensory certainty. Then the wrinkles, leanness, and witness of the face disappear as the air of your consciousness fills with vitality.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the state I AM Whole now and feel it as true. See yourself in a mirror, vitality replacing every sign of wear.
