Job 42:1-3 Inner Counsel

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, this passage is not about a historical quarrel with fate but about the inner state you call forth by your own consciousness. Job's confession, 'I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee,' becomes a declaration of the I AM, the universal awareness within you that contains every possibility. When he asks, 'Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge?' he is admitting that the counsel he once relied on—his measured opinions and limited beliefs—cannot guide reality, for true guidance comes from the divine within, the only thinker that matters. The line 'things too wonderful for me, which I knew not' reveals the moment of humility through which the self yields to the greater Mystery. In Neville's practice, this means dropping the small-self's script and assuming the state of omniscience and benevolent order. Believe that your inner I AM knows all, revise any belief that denies it, and feel as though the world rearranges to align with that inner decree. Providence follows the shift of consciousness, not the outside event.
