Job 36:12 Obedience and Knowledge

Neville's Inner Vision

Job 36:12 speaks to the inner law of life: disobedience to your true self is not punished by an external sword, but by the narrowing of consciousness you experience when you forget who you are. The perishing is the fading of the living sense of I AM, a dropping out of the awareness that you are the creative observer. The phrase die without knowledge becomes, in this light, a lack of awareness of your own divine nature and your capacity to imagine reality into form. When you align with the I AM, when you obey the quiet suggestion of the inner self, your life turns from fear and uncertainty to luminous certainty. Swords fall away as you cease resisting your own creative power; knowledge returns as you revise old stories and dwell in the assured presence of consciousness. The event you call outer life is the echo of your inner state. Obedience here is not compliance to rules but fidelity to the truth about who you are - an I AM that imagines and thereby becomes.
