Dividing the Sea Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Job 26:12 speaks of power that parts the sea and understanding that pierces the proud. In Neville's language, the sea is the tremor of my inner state—the restless thoughts and fear I have called real. God is not a distant person but the I AM within, my ongoing awareness. When I say, 'I am the power dividing the inner sea,' I am choosing to exercise imagination through abiding awareness. The sea parts through a shift of focus: I turn from the storm of lack or limitation to the truth of my unity with infinite consciousness. The 'proud' is the stubborn story that I am separate from my own divine expression; by understanding who I am—always present as I AM—this pride is smitten, and the waters settle. This is spiritual causation: the outer changes only as I revise my inner state, assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled and letting it play out in imagination until it becomes real in life. The verse invites me to trust inner sight, not outer proof, as the instrument of transformation.
