Inner Armor Against The World

Neville's Inner Vision

See the beast of Job not as a distant enemy but as a state of consciousness you entertain when fear grips you. The sword that would lay hold cannot hold because the I AM within remains untouched. When you identify with the unwavering awareness that you are the author of your sense impressions, external conditions lose their grip, and even iron and brass appear as straw and rotten wood. The true power resides in your inner state, and Providence guides you as you revise your sense of threat. In this light, the verse invites a Neville-style practice: assume the inner conqueror, feel that reality as already true, and watch the outer world bend to reflect your inner certainty.
