Shaking Foundations Within
Job 9:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Job 9:6 portrays God shaking the earth from its place and the pillars trembling, a symbolic upheaval of fixed foundations. It points to inner foundations being unsettled by a higher power within.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's language, the earth that shakes and the pillars that tremble are not cosmic particles but my own mental foundations. The cry of 'Which shaketh the earth out of her place' is the I AM stirring the solid beliefs I take for reality—the habits, conclusions, and stories I have used to keep myself safe. When the inner heaven asserts itself, the outer world must mirror a new order; the pillars tremble not to destroy me, but to reveal that what I trusted as solid is only a belief in motion. I am not at the mercy of external upheavals; I am the consciousness that creates form. By recognizing that all this is imagined by the I AM, I can revise it. I can imagine a more assured inner posture, feel the new state as real, and watch the outer scenes align with that inner decree. The quake becomes a doorway: as I allow a deeper ruler to govern, the old supports fall away and the true, unshakable self remains.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and recall a belief that has felt 'earth-shaking' for you. Assume the opposite feeling and state—'I am grounded; the inner I AM holds me steady'—and, with feeling, imagine the old pillars gently aligning to a new, unshakable center.
