Continuing the Inner Parable

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the line that Job speaks is not about a literal dialogue with men, but the ongoing dialogue of your consciousness. 'Moreover Job continued his parable, and said' is the sign that the inner self refuses to drop the script when sorrow tightens its hold. In Neville's terms, the parable is the story your awareness tells about itself, and what appears in the outer world is but the echo of an inner assumption. To continue the parable is to persist in the self-conception you wish to inhabit. If you are suffering, you are simply operating under an old assumption, a thought-form you have allowed to dominate. The remedy is not to battle the world, but to revise the internal story: declare that the I AM within you now LIVES as health, peace, or success; feel the truth of that state until it becomes the only reality you know. Your life follows the narrative you keep consciously alive; by re-choosing the parable, you renew your experience from the inside out.
