Inner Job Lament Reimagined

Neville's Inner Vision

On the level of consciousness, Job’s act of cursing is not a geography of places but a moment in the mind when awareness forgets its own power. The day he curses becomes a symbol of the state he’s inhabited—an inner grip of fear, grievance, and separation from the good he desires. The verse records not a history of an unhappy man, but the voice of a consciousness that believes it is at the mercy of circumstance. When Job 'spake, and said,' he is the I AM under stress asserting a limited reality. Neville would say: shift the state, not the scenery. The outward bluster is the signpost pointing to an inner assumption that life is lacking. By recognizing that the 'day' and the 'speech' are equivalents of inner dispositions, we can perform a practical revision: return to the I AM as the only reality, imagine the day as already blessed, feel the certainty that the whole of existence conforms to your awareness. In that inner act, the trial begins to dissolve as you inhabit a higher sense of self.
