Old Paths, I AM Awareness

Neville's Inner Vision

Job 22:15-17 presents the mind’s old, worn road—the consciousness that the wicked trod—whose foundations are washed away when flooded by fear and self-will. In Neville’s terms, these lines describe a state of separation: a belief that God is distant, that one must depart from the God within, and that the Almighty can do nothing for a mind convinced of its own autonomy. The wicked are not punished by a deity; they are the self-idea that forgets its unity with the I AM. The true drama is inner: the mind imagining itself as separate, its foundations toppled by the flood of doubt. Yet you are not chained to that outlook. The moment you remember that you are the I AM, you revise the scene. The old path dissolves as you assume and feel the reality of God present as your own consciousness. Imagination is the instrument by which God re-creates the world, so your present belief becomes the pattern of life. From now on, dwell in the awareness that the Almighty is within you, and watch your outer circumstances answer to that inner truth.
