Dust and Divine Alignment

Neville's Inner Vision

Job’s dust and ashes is not a punishment to endure, but a doorway into the state of self-awareness where the old story of self as separate from God dissolves. When he says he abhors himself, you hear the cry of the ego to relinquish its supposed throne and to submit to the I AM that you actually are. The loud My wrath spoken against the critics marks the inner order restoring balance: when you or your mind claim to know the divine without living as truth, you invite conflict; when you acknowledge the right about God, you become the servant in whom the divine speaks rightly. The friends’ failure to speak truth about God is the misalignment of thought; Job’s humility becomes the condition for seeing, not a denial of virtue, but an opening to the true speech that proceeds from the I AM. Thus, the verse invites you to shift from effortful repentance of the old persona to a quiet, assured alignment with your inner divinity, which immediately reshapes perception and circumstance.
