Inner Lament, Birth and Trial

Neville's Inner Vision

Job 3:10-12 is not a historical complaint but a vivid map of inner birth. In Neville's terms, birth is a state of consciousness you carry into every moment; the doors of the womb are symbols of the beliefs you take to be true about yourself. The cry about dying at birth reveals identification with a limited self-image; the remedy is to shift the sense of self. Imagine the self as already awakened, already free, and watch how your circumstances bend to that inner truth. Treat sorrow as a signal, not a rule, and invite the I AM—the awareness within—to birth a new scene. When you imagine from that higher I AM, you dissolve old boundaries and open new possibilities. The present movement of consciousness becomes the womb through which you exit the old state and emerge into a more luminous sense of being.
