Dwelling in the Inner Grave

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville’s lens, Job 17:13–14 reveals a man naming his inner weather as if it were a house built of darkness. The grave becomes a dwelling because the consciousness has consented to identify with lack, while corruption, decay, and death are spoken of as kin who govern the self. Yet the I AM—the true and only I in you—stands behind every image you accept. By calling corruption father and worm mother, the speaker disowns life and invites a future ruled by fear and exile from his own vitality. The shift required is not to escape pain but to refuse the false father and mother and replace them with the awareness of being always already complete. You are not condemned to dwelling in darkness; you are the awareness that can flip the sign in your mind from death to life. See the bed as it is: not in darkness, but in the light of I AM, and claim a new household built from vitality, unity, and return to wholeness.
