Inner Law Of Purity

Job 31:9-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 31 in context

Scripture Focus

9If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
10Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
11For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
12For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
Job 31:9-12

Biblical Context

Job states his commitment to purity and integrity. He imagines a hypothetical deviation and declares that such acts would be judged and could burn away all his increase.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job’s declaration is not a legal threat but a study in the inner economy of the mind. The ‘woman’ and the ‘neighbor’s door’ symbolize alluring images that the conscious self could mistake for reality. To be deceived by such images is to rob the I AM of its clear ground, and to lay wait for a projection is to consent to a world separate from the one you are aware of. The fiery punishment is the inevitable consequence of feeding a belief with feeling rather than with truth. When you identify with that belief, you feed it until it consumes all your ‘increase’—your life, your blessings—because you have projected a split within your own unity. The true interpretation, from the Neville lens, is that you are always the observer and creator within a single, indivisible consciousness. Return to the assumption that you are the I AM, pure and inviolate, the one who cannot be moved by appearances. The cyclical nature of judgment dissolves when you choose inner alignment. Restore your inner state by aligning with love, purity, and unity.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the I AM now. Sit quietly, breathe, and repeat: I am the I AM; my inner life is pure and inviolate, and nothing outside can alter it.
