Root of the Matter Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To the ear that listens, Job's line sounds like blame, yet it is a doorway. The root of the matter is found in me, because I, the I AM, am the one who experiences every scene. In this view, the 'persecution' your friends bring is but a reflection of a belief you hold about yourself. If you imagine that you are at mercy of others, you awaken the very condition you fear. But if you return to the awareness that you are the creator, you can revise the story with a single, faithful assumption: I am the presence that perceives; nothing can harm the I AM. When you stop projecting fault outward and instead awaken to your inner unity with God, the outer voices lose their sting. The Promise and Presence become real as you dwell in the idea that you are already free and loved. Your consciousness is not at the mercy of circumstance; it is the sovereign state within which all events unfold. Rest in that awareness, and the persecutory drama dissolves into quiet illumination.
