From Destruction to Higher Self

Job 31:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 31 in context

Scripture Focus

23For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
Job 31:23

Biblical Context

Job says destruction from God terrified him, and he could not endure God's overwhelming majesty. The verse shows his awareness of a forces beyond his current state that he judged as terrifying.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner economy of Neville’s teaching, the 'destruction from God' is not an external event but a state of consciousness—the terror of a mind that has not yet yielded to the I AM. The 'highness' of God becomes the highness of your own awareness, the elevated state in which you choose to dwell. When you feel the terror as a perception rather than a reality, you are invited to revise it by assuming a higher sense of self. The moment you affirm the I AM as your real nature, destruction loses its power, for you stand within an unassailable presence that cannot be truly diminished by appearances. Fear fades as you persist in that elevated consciousness, and the world adjusts to mirror your new inner truth. The verse thus becomes a practical invitation: relinquish the old identity that fears destruction, and rest in the assurance that your true life is the I AM, ever-present and sovereign.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and declare inwardly: I am the I AM, the highness that cannot be destroyed. Maintain that assumption until the feeling of unwavering presence settles in.
