Beyond The Bird's Snare
Amos 3:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Amos 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Amos 3:5 speaks of a bird falling into a snare, showing that entrapment is caused by inner beliefs rather than external devices.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine the bird as a state of consciousness, a longing or fear fluttering on the branch of your life. The snare, in Amos, is not a metal trap found beneath the earth but a belief you have allowed to seem real. If there is 'no gin for him,' the trap still manifests only as a conclusion you have accepted about yourself. The law of your life is the I AM awareness that observes; it is never caught by a thought it does not consent to. When you feel entangled, you are simply rehearsing a memory of limitation; you can revise it now by assuming a higher state and feel it real. Say to yourself: I am the I AM that sees through every snare; I am free, right now. In this moment, the outer scene must align with your inner truth, for God is Providence, moving you to awaken. Do not seek the outside remedy; train your inner eye to dwell in the present I AM, and the bird's fall becomes a sign of your shift, not a fate.
Practice This Now
Step into the I AM consciousness for five minutes, declare, 'I am free now,' and feel it real until the sensation of freedom anchors.
