Yearning for Death, Finding Life

Neville's Inner Vision

What Job describes is not a literal quest for a tomb, but a desperate play of consciousness in which the self believes it can die to pain by finding death as a treasure. In Neville's terms, the mind is a theater where 'I AM' is perpetually either identified with pain or with life. The longing for death shows the illusion that life ends with sensation; but the I AM within never dies and is unaltered by circumstance. To turn this scene, one must stop digging in the cave of despair and begin to mine the inner mine of awareness. Assume you are already the living I AM here and now; revise the story: 'I am the life that cannot be killed; this pain is only a movement of consciousness.' Feel the reality shift as you acknowledge the inner treasure—the sense of being, the unity with life, and the unchanging presence that supports you. As you persist, the craving for death dissolves, replaced by the security of a constant, eternal self that walks through every trial.
