Inner Fire and the I AM

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville Goddard's lens, the scene is not distant history but a map of inner states. 'He made his son pass through the fire' points to sacrificing a part of your potential to fear, to ritual habit, or to the sense of an external authority that controls your life. 'Observed times' and 'enchantments' indicate the mind clinging to omens, cycles, and clever beliefs that promise power through tricks rather than inner knowing. 'Familiar spirits and wizards' are the incessant inner voices that tempt you with remedies, shortcuts, or identifications with old identities. When you dwell in these images, you provoke the inner God by denying the I AM a place of sovereignty, and you call it wicked in the sight of the LORD—your true awareness. The inner battle is simply which state you accept as real. The cure is simple: return your attention to the I AM, assume the feeling of your own wholeness, and revise every fear-based image until it feels true. In that act, you transform the apparent external 'wickedness' into a renewed sense of life.
