Immovable Inner Stone

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line, Job does not speak of a distant monster, but of a state of consciousness made flesh by habit and memory. The flakes of his flesh, joined and firm, are the mental patterns you have lived until they feel inseparable from you. Your body, your responses, your reactions are the outer masonry of a world built from consistent thought. The heart, hard as a stone, is a stubborn conviction—an unyielding I-know-what-is-true that refuses surrender to doubt. In Neville's terms, this is not an external fortress but an inner posture, a state you have assumed until it appears as reality. When you identify with the I AM—the awareness that you are the unchanging presence—you undermine the very foundation of that hardness. The sense of a fixed body and a fixed mind dissolves when the inner vision declares, 'I am not this body; I am the I AM that holds steady, creative, and boundless.' As you dwell in this consciousness, your outer scene will align with the stillness of the stone within.
