Inner Storms, Quiet Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville's view, Job's sighing and roaring are inner movements of consciousness, not merely external calamities. The very fear he says will overtake him is the imaginative force that paints his world. In this light, not safe, not at rest, not quiet are inner dispositions that yield weariness and trouble; the moment one believes the trouble is outside, one surrenders the I AM to the storm. The remedy is to assume a different reality: you are the I AM who never leaves itself, whose awareness is the sole governor of feeling and event. By inbreathing the conviction I am safe in the stillness of my own consciousness, you withdraw the power of the pictured danger and invite a new movement—one of calm, inner rest, and quietude that precedes any outward condition. Your sighing becomes a signal to return to the contemplative centre of the self, where imagination is the creator, and fear is merely the form that a transformed belief can wear. Rest in that I AM, and the troubling scenes soften as you revise them with love.
