Job 2:6–7 Inner Praxis

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, the scene in Job 2:6–7 is a drama of consciousness, not of external fate. The LORD’s remark, Behold, he is in thine hand, translates to this: your awareness has allowed the appearance; the life you are—the I AM—remains the sovereign presence beyond any form. The ‘Satan’ who goes forth is the internal voice of opposition, fear, and contrast arising within you, permitted to press against your accustomed sense of self so you may turn inward. The boils and pain are the tangible movements of a state you are moving through in imagination. They do not alter the fact that life itself cannot be harmed; they only reveal the level of your attention. Your job, your trial, your body, are but signs of your current state of consciousness. When you claim the premise that you are the life that sustains you, you reorient the scene. Imagination is the instrument by which you retune the state; by every shift of feeling toward wholeness, the inner climate changes and the outer form follows. Remember: one true self, the I AM, is always intact amidst apparent trial.
