The Net of Self-Counsel
Job 18:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses warn that relying on one's own counsel weakens the steps of strength. The plans we trust become the snares that cast us down.
Neville's Inner Vision
Job 18:7-8 speaks to an inward law: the seeming fall comes not from fate but from the self informed by egoic counsel. In Neville’s psychology, the steps of strength are simply the state you inhabit when you trust your inner I AM less than the source of all wisdom. When I rely on outer plans and clever schemes, I cast with my own feet the net that will ensnare me; I walk upon a snare that I secretly prepared with pride. The way out is to reverse the orientation: realize that all power, all direction, flows from the I AM within and that imagination is the engine of reality. The moment I revise the inner disposition and choose to inhabit a higher assumption, the cast becomes gentle and the net loses grip. I can reinterpret fear-worn projects as signals to seek divine guidance rather than human cleverness. So I practice now by assuming the wiser state, letting the inner voice govern, and feeling the reality of immediate alignment. As I dwell there, the old plan collapses into insight, and the outer world follows the shift of consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, declare I AM the author of my reality, revise your plan to align with inner guidance, and feel the outcome as already secured.
