Inner Safety and Vigilant Eyes

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine that the safety you rest in is not a fortress placed around you by circumstance, but a steadfast I AM awareness within you. The 'eyes' mentioned in Job are not peering at others as enemies, but your attention you cast upon the currents of life—your thoughts, your feelings, and the unseen movements of consciousness. When you accept that Providence is the natural order of your own state of being, you see that danger or safety are but reflections of what you secretly assume. To dwell in safety while keeping watchful eyes on others' ways is to acknowledge that every event is an image arising from your deepest state. Thus the verse invites you to revise not the world, but your inner posture: rest in the awareness that cannot be shaken, and let every outward "way" be a symbol of a belief you are choosing to re-script. Your real rest is the I AM; your vigilant seeing is the disciplined attention of imagination aligned with God within.
