Inside Sorrowful Sustenance

Job 6:5-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 6 in context

Scripture Focus

5Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
6Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.
Job 6:5-7

Biblical Context

Job 6:5-7 compares the things my soul refuses to touch to sorrowful meat; it asks whether what is unsavoury can be eaten without salt.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your mind is the field; what the soul calls unsavoury are but thoughts needing salt—your conscious attention. The 'sorrowful meat' is not a punishment but the feed of a consciousness waiting to be renewed. The wild donkey braying for grass and the ox lowing for fodder picture your habitual appetites; you mistake the outer scarcity for final reality until you season the scene with awareness. Salt stands for the I AM present—the disciplined assumption that you are, here and now, the power to alter perception. When you revise your inner diet, you do not deny pain; you reinterpret it by assuming the fulfillment you desire. Taste returns as you treat sorrow as nourishment instead of poison, and the sense of lack dissolves as you claim fullness by your divine imagination. The inner kingdom is not built by changing events but by changing the state of consciousness that perceives them. So, through awareness and feeling it real, you convert bitter experience into a sustaining meal and discover that you are the I AM who feeds your life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of nourishment. For two minutes, taste the salt of awareness on your tongue and revise your scene to reflect fullness as already given.
