Hidden Path of Inner Wisdom
Job 28:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 28 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse speaks of a path unknown to birds and beasts, a hidden way of wisdom. It points to a providential guidance that lies within the inner world, unseen by the outer senses.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Job's lines the 'path' is not a road through the wilderness but a state of consciousness never measured by the eye. The fowl and the vulture represent the perceiving faculties that know only what is seen; the lion's whelps and the fierce lion symbolize the ego's fear and force that have not trodden this way. Yet this path exists, exactly as the inner certainty of your I AM would have it: a direction revealed to you by your own awareness when you suspend doubt of outward appearances. In Neville's terms, the world you see is the tail end of a process begun in consciousness. The 'unknown' becomes knowable as you assume the end in mind, imagine the end as real, and align your feeling with it until it becomes your lived experience. Providence does not move objects apart from your inner state; it moves your consciousness into alignment with that reality. The path is the living correspondence between your inner conviction and outer manifestation. When you dwell in the certainty that you know the way, you are walking it, even as lions roar in the outer scene.
Practice This Now
Choose a moment, close your eyes, and declare 'I now walk the hidden path known to my I AM.' See yourself stepping onto a radiant trail within your mind and feel its guidance steady you throughout the day.
