Inner Counsel Within
Job 5:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse invites you to seek counsel and asks whom you will turn to for guidance. It nudges you to consider turning inward rather than to external saints.
Neville's Inner Vision
Call now is a summons to enter a single, quiet field of awareness where answers reside. The line about any that will answer thee points to the I AM within, not to external sages. To which of the saints wilt thou turn reveals the habit of seeking guidance outside yourself; the saints are states of consciousness you already possess and may have given authority to. In Neville's psychology, you are not asking for counsel from others but shifting into the state that suffices as the answer. When you assume a fulfilled condition—clarity, faith, right action—the inner witness speaks through your awareness and the problem aligns with that state. Your external circumstances reflect the inner conviction you hold privately. The practice is to revise from within until the sense of lack dissolves and the inner decision becomes inevitable. The art is to abandon habitual reliance on others and welcome the I AM as sovereign source, allowing imagination to render the answer as your lived experience.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe gently, and declare that I AM is the answer within you. Then imagine a council of inner states—calm, wisdom, faith—speaking through you, and feel the decision as already real.
