Inner Counsel in Job 5:1-7

Neville's Inner Vision

I interpret these lines as a call to the I AM within you, the enduring awareness that never wavers. 'Call now' means you must inquire not of priests or saints external to you, but of your own inner state—the one that answers with certainty when you assume it. The 'saints' are your inner qualities—peace, faith, discernment—that you may turn to in moments of strain. If you cling to wrath or envy, you kill the foolish self that believes separation, and you curse the habitation of that belief, inviting instability into the gate of your life. I have seen the foolish taking root, yet the inward you—your genuine I AM—curses that belief at its source. The outer effects described—the crushed gates, the risk to children, the taking of harvests—are not punitive judgments but images of what follows when fear and lack take root in the mind. Although affliction does not arise from dust, trouble is a movement of consciousness; man is born unto it as sparks fly upward. The remedy is to return to your inner counsel, assume a new state of abundance and calm, and let your imagination establish reality as you intend it.
