Mark Me, Be Astonished

Neville's Inner Vision

Job 21:5-6 is a lesson in the inner weather of consciousness. “Mark me” invites you to identify the exact state you are living in, not the external event. “Be astonished” is the call to awaken to the awe of the I AM presence that you already are, the awareness that creates your world. “Lay your hand upon your mouth” is a symbolic cue to quiet the outer speech of the ego and let the inner recognition speak. The line “Even when I remember I am afraid” reveals that fear arises as a belief in separation from your power; the body’s trembling is its physical aftereffect. Neville would have you revise this by choosing the truth of your I AM over the memory of fear, and by imagining the calm reality of your creative self as already real. When you stop trying to fight fear externally and instead attend to the inner state, you discover that astonishment and silence dissolve the trembling as you dwell in the presence of God within.
