Job 21:12-13 Inner Wealth

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, you are not watching others but witnessing your own inner states made audible as music. The timbrel, harp, and organ symbolize the familiar rhythms of your consciousness—joy, praise, and the cadence of desire waking in the imagination. When Job notes they spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave, he is not speaking of time itself but of a switch of states. Wealth and laughter are the outer effects of an inner conviction, the momentary stabilization of a feeling you have assumed to be true. The I AM, the awareness that you are, simply notices the state you inhabit; you can revise this state at any moment, and the world will follow the mood you sustain. Death is not annihilation but the shifting of attention from one state to another; the grave is the boundary where you release an old scene and awaken to a new one. Your present experience reveals what you currently believe about yourself and your world; you can alter your beliefs and, with them, your life.
