Inner House, Outer Shifts

Neville's Inner Vision

Job 8:15-17 speaks of leaning on a house that cannot endure, a vitality that looks green under the sun, and roots that wrap around a heap, seeking stones. Yet these outward signs are not your true nature. In the imagination you are not the house you lean on, but the I AM that witnesses the leaning. The man who trusts in wealth or status momentarily appears secure, but the inner sense of self remains untouched by the collapse of any external edifice. When you understand that consciousness fashions form, you discover that the so-called stable world is only a permutation of your own imagining. The 'green before the sun' is your vitality, but it is sustained by the inner choice to abide in awareness rather than in mere appearance. The roots 'seeth the place of stones'—they are looking to a new foundation, not real stability, which comes through awakening to the I AM. Therefore, shift your confidence from the shifting heap to the unchanging presence within you, the observer who never fails.
