The Inner Wind of Words

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, Bildad's rebuke is not a man simply scolding Job but a voice within the psyche exposing the windiness of habitual thought. 'How long?' becomes the inner question the I AM asks of a restless state: Are you identified with the roar of words, or with the stillness that makes words possible? The 'strong wind' of speech is the energy of pride, doubt, or fear moving through consciousness. Job’s problem is not the length of his speech but the belief that his words constitute his reality. Neville would say: you are not your thoughts, you are the awareness that notices them. The path is to shift allegiance from the outer wind to the inner witness, to let the I AM govern the conversation with gentleness, discernment, and humility. By surrendering to that divine presence, the inner weather settles, and insight appears. Then Bildad’s rebuke transforms from judgment to invitation: practice quiet, revise, and feel the reality of your true state as I AM, which quietly animates every word you utter.
