Inner Counsel of Job 4

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the scene as an inner dialogue. Eliphaz's outward question about grieved hearing becomes a mirror for your own inner state. In Neville's view, the 'Job' you meet in the waking moment is a state of consciousness, and Eliphaz is the aspect that feels compelled to counsel. The invitation to commune with thee is the I AM inviting your attention to a new belief, a condition you imagine as real. The line 'who can withhold himself from speaking?' signals the irresistible impulse of truth within your mind; once you acknowledge it, you cannot silence it. When you imagine yourself hearing the inner counsel, you are practicing the art of revision—accepting a truth you desire and letting it become your present atmosphere. The mere willingness to listen is the first act of creation: by imagining yourself as free to hear and to reply, you awaken the state that already holds the answer. Through this internal dialogue, you shift the center of gravity of your life from resistance to allowance, from fear to faithfulness, and you discover that your world answers to your internal decree.
