The Inner Hunt Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Job 38:39-40, you are asked to consider who moves the lion and its young—the appetite you feed with attention. In the Neville Goddard tradition, the verse translates to a question about your state of consciousness: are you actively hunting for results in the outer world, or quietly letting the covert powers of imagination do their work? The prey and the lions symbolize your desires and beliefs; tempting hunger represents lack, while their den and covert waiting symbolize the unseen processes of inner conviction. When you try to hunt, you presume you must push circumstances to satisfy an appetite that only your awareness can host. When you allow them to lie dormant in their den, you honor the still, watchful I AM that notices both hunger and fulfillment. The invitation is to shift from control to assumption: assume that fulfillment is already present in your consciousness, and feel it as real in this moment. In that posture, your inner life becomes the cause, not the effect, and outward events unfold as natural expressions of your awakened awareness.
