Vanity Exposed Within the Self

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it is not merely about others; it is a mirror for the state of your own mind. In Neville's terms, vanity is an inner movement—a belief in separation from the I AM—that shows up as outward judgments and status-seeking. The friends' self-righteous decree against Job reveals their dependence on appearances rather than true worship. When you understand this, you see vanity as a dream you can wake from by changing your inner assumption. The verse invites you to revise the scene inside: acknowledge that all behavior arises from your inner state and choose to identify with the I AM that is unity and light. By shifting your conviction from they are vain to I AM the awareness that sees through vanity, you dissolve the judgment and invite a deeper reverence for life. In that revision, you experience true worship—not of forms, but of the one life within you and everyone you meet.
