Inner Justice and the I AM
Job 8:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse acknowledges that consequences arise from sin, suggesting God may cast away what has transgressed. It presents suffering as an outer reflection of inner choices.
Neville's Inner Vision
Psychologically, the line is not about condemnation from a distant God, but an invitation to inspect your own state of consciousness. 'Thy children' and 'they are cast away' symbolise outer conditions you have accepted as real because you believed separation from the I AM. When you identify with loss, you have forgotten that the I AM is the source and steady presence of all life. The remedy is not to plead with circumstances but to revise your inner assumption: I am always in contact with the Life that sustains me; nothing can truly depart from the awareness of the I AM. By shifting to that state, the sense of being cast away dissolves, and your world begins to align with your revised feeling. The verse thus becomes a map to return to the unity of consciousness, where all beings and conditions exist within the same divine life you are aware of here and now.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, place your hand on your heart, and revise: 'I AM the Life sustaining all; nothing is cast away from my awareness.' Then imagine your loved ones gathered in light, whole and present, as if this is already true.
