Inner Echoes of Truth
Job 17:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Biblical Context
Job 17:5-6 speaks of flattery harming reputations and turning the speaker into a byword; the music of his life (tabret) is silenced as social opinion dominates inner reality.
Neville's Inner Vision
This passage invites you to see the outer scene as a mirror of your inner state. Flattery and the scorn of others are not merely social dynamics but signals of belief patterns within you. When you depend on praise to feel real, you plant a byword in the collective consciousness and mute the inner tabret—the harmony and truth that come from within. The eyes of your inner children represent the moral and intuitive sight that can fade when your consciousness seeks validation from others. Yet the I AM—your essential awareness—remains untouched by applause or censure. To reclaim the music of your life, you must revise your assumption from external approval to the timeless certainty of your own being. In that shift, the byword dissolves, flattery no longer moves you, and the inner tabret resumes its rhythm, inviting your world to align with the truth you now know about yourself.
Practice This Now
Assume the inner truth: I am the I AM, unshaken by praise or blame. Feel this as a living reality and, in imagination, restore the tabret within, letting its harmony echo into your relationships.
