Only You Have I Known
Amos 3:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Amos 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God has known you as a unique people among the earth. Because of that intimate relationship, you will face punishment for your iniquities.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, Amos 3:2 speaks not of distant national fate but of the inner state known by the I AM. The cry, 'You only have I known,' points to the soul that the I AM has numbered as its own. The so-called punishment is not out there; it is the natural result of living from a separated or contracted state. When you identify with lack, guilt, or fear, your outer circumstances will reflect a sense of judgment. But the moment you revise your self-image and claim that the I AM knows you as whole, beloved, and safe, you align with a different stream of events. The 'special relationship' is the recognition that you are not separate from God, but a manifestation of the I AM, known completely and approved. The discipline is inward: return to the state you truly are, and let consciousness do the rearranging. Practice the inner assumption that you are already known and perfect in the eyes of the I AM, and watch how life confirms that truth in ever more harmonious forms.
Practice This Now
Assume you are known by the I AM; feel that inner recognition as real now, and revise any sense of separation until your outer life reflects your inner state.
