5Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

6Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

Job 41:5-6

Biblical Context

Job 41:5-6 questions whether one would treat the monstrous Leviathan as a toy or a possession for display, and whether companions would feast on it or share it among merchants.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the Leviathan as the fixed, sea-born image of desire in the mind—the monstrous notion of wealth that people think they must trap, parade, or profit from. In the Nevilleian reading, the I AM is the watching consciousness that may revise any external image simply by assuming a different state. Here the question asks you to stop treating the creature as a toy for display; to cease binding it for maidens or bartering it among merchants. Instead, treat wealth as a living idea inside you, not an external quarry. When you assume that abundance is already yours in consciousness, the urge to commodify others weakens, and the impulse to provide and protect arises. The verse nudges you to choose: wealth as a tool for love and neighbor, or wealth as a prison of pride. You are the I AM; by feeling it real that you exist within a field of plenitude, you invite outer forms to follow. Practice this inward revision until the sense of lack vanishes and generosity becomes your natural expression.

Practice This Now

For a few minutes, assume the feeling that abundance is already mine and imagine sharing it with a neighbor; revise the impulse to use wealth to display or divide, and feel it-real as your inner state.
