Trumpets of Inner Battle

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Job’s image, the trumpet-blasts are the restless thoughts and sensations vying for attention. The Ha, ha is the I AM’s calm laughter at outer drama, not a derision of people but a recognition that you are the perceiver who assigns meaning to appearances. When you “smell the battle afar off,” you are aware of a coming shift in your state before it becomes a fact in form—an invitation to revise the inner vibe rather than to fight the outer scene. The “thunder of the captains, and the shouting” are the loud commands of habit—the old stories your mind repeats when asked to change. In the Neville Goddard sense, God is the I AM, the unshakable awareness that remains unchanged as circumstances rise and fall. By assuming the royal posture of the Kingdom within—to feel, now, that you are already this sovereign consciousness—you reinterpret every trumpet and every clash as inner movements moving toward your desired image. Your job is not to silence noise, but to shift the inner state, and the world’s theater will reflect that inner shift.
