Job's Inner Refinement

Neville's Inner Vision

Your true self is the I AM. The 'way I take' is the track your inner awareness chooses when you imagine and then accept it as real. When the trial arises, know that the knowing God speaks within you is not against you but refining you, turning your consciousness into gold—steadfast, clear, obedient. 'My foot hath held His steps' becomes: you have aligned every action with the inner lead you have already affirmed in imagination; you do not depart from the covenant of the lips of your own soul. You esteem the words of the divine mouth more than any physical nourishment, for nourishment is the conviction that you are already in harmony with the divine plan. The trial is simply the heat that makes the inner state visible as outer result. Hold to the feeling of being already there, and you will emerge renewed, certain, and more real to yourself than the old doubt. The path is not out there; it is the consciousness you have chosen and sustained.
