Inner Harvest of Thought

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Job 4:8 as a law of consciousness rather than a external judgment. The 'they' who plow iniquity and sow wickedness are not distant villains but inner patterns I entertain—the thoughts I repeat, the resentments I harbor, the self-images I nurture. When I live in fear, bitterness, or lack, I am tilling a soil that must yield what I have planted in my mind. The harvest appears as events, pains, or conflicts that challenge my sense of safety, and I call it 'the world'—yet it is simply my inner weather made visible. The law is exact: what I sow in the invisible must sprout in the visible. Therefore, I can reverse the process by shifting states of consciousness. I imagine myself as the I AM who plants virtue, patience, and faith; I revise past grievances into lessons; I replant with gratitude. Providence guides this inward cultivation, not as punishment but as alignment with my true nature. By honoring the law and transforming my inner disposition, I begin to notice a different harvest—less sorrow, more coherence, a life that reflects my revised plantings.
