Neville Goddard on Job 3:10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 3 in context

Scripture Focus

10Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.

Job 3:10

Biblical Context

Job notes that life did not shut away sorrow, and his eye cannot escape it. The verse frames sorrow as an intrinsic part of birth and human experience.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville’s ear, the line is a lesson in the psychology of birth as a state of consciousness. The womb is the ground from which experiences spring; because the doors were not shut, sorrow enters with life as a signal to the mind’s currents. You are the I AM, not a victim of fate, and you can revise this birth-line by choosing a different mode of being. By assuming a state of wholeness, and by imagining healing as already present, you gradually close those doors and invite a new mood to take root. When you fix attention on a future of restoration and feel that truth now, sorrow loses its grip and becomes a guide toward higher awareness. This is not denial, but the disciplined practice of refusing to argue with life and affirming the reality of your eternal presence.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of I AM here and now, and feel that sorrow is closed from your awareness. Then dwell in the imagined scene of healing as already accomplished.
