Silence That Consoles

Neville's Inner Vision

View the narrative not as a social scene but as a theater of your own consciousness. The sitting of the friends represents the I AM’s readiness to be with your pain without rushing to interpret it. Grief is a current of inner energy moving through your state of awareness; words would only constrain it. By choosing to say nothing, you are choosing to keep the space clear for revelation to enter. In Neville terms, Job’s great sorrow is a signal that a new identification is trying to arise—the sense 'I am separate from God’s comfort' dissolves in the quiet assurance of presence. The seven days symbolize a sustained attention, a 'watch' of your inner center, that does not abandon itself to fear or explanation. As you become still, imagine the I AM, the inner God, sitting with you, listening, not judging, holding you in the unity that underwrites all trials. From this stillness, a future state of peace edges into your current experience; you begin to know that the very grief is a doorway to a renewed sense of being.
