Neville Goddard on Job 35:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 35 in context

Scripture Focus

3For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

4I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

Job 35:3-4

Biblical Context

Someone asks what advantage there is in cleansing from sin, and then declares that they will answer you and your companions. It is an inner dialogue about cleansing as a state of mind, not a future event.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner theatre of consciousness, this moment reframes profit as a distraction from your true state. The speaker’s question reveals a mind stuck in lack, measuring cleansing by external gain. Yet the vow to answer you and your companions discloses the I AM speaking through many facets of self—the central, steadfast awareness addressing the whole mental assembly. Cleansing is not a future event to seek from without, but a shift of the inner vision: a decision to align every thought with the perception of your wholeness. When you assume the state of being already cleansed, the question dissolves into a knowing that the profit of purification is restoration of unity within your mind. The companions are the other attitudes, beliefs, and memories that arise; you answer them from the one I AM, inviting reconciliation with every part. Thus, you move from argumentative debate to harmonious resolve, entering a present where virtue is already yours and every thought echoes your true state.

Practice This Now

Practice: close your eyes and assume the state of the cleansing I AM now. Revise any claim of lack by affirming that there is profit in this cleansing because you are awareness itself, and feel the relief as you imagine answering your inner council with calm.
