Snares, Fear, and Inner Light

Job 22:10-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 22 in context

Scripture Focus

10Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
11Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
Job 22:10-11

Biblical Context

The passage portrays traps, sudden fear, darkness, and overwhelming waters as external-feeling pressures that reveal inner disturbances in consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider these lines as the theater of your own mind. Snares round about thee are the thoughts you have circled in your attention—beliefs that constrain you and make choice seem impossible. Sudden fear is the alarm of an old assumption about danger, a call to examine what you have allowed to govern your feeling in the present moment. Darkness, that thou canst not see, is the absence of inner light—your awareness temporarily identified with the outer scene rather than with the I AM within. The abundance of waters covering thee represents the flood of external impressions and emotional tides that would drown discernment; yet all are images stirred by your consciousness. By returning to the sense of being the I AM, you unhook from the current that binds you and let inner light disclose another image of yourself. The God within is not distant; it is your own awareness choosing a newer, calmer state. When you accept that you are more than the scene, the snares dissolve, fear recedes, and vision returns.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, I AM, within me, the only reality. Revise the scene by affirming: there are no snares around my awareness; I feel the inner light rise, and the flood recede as I stand in the clarity of consciousness.
