Inner Sinai: Thunder of I AM
Exodus 20:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse depicts the people witnessing a dramatic display—thunder, lightning, trumpet noise, and smoke on Sinai—and then recoiling, standing afar in fear and reverence.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville Goddard vantage, the thunderings, lightnings, and smoke are not external phenomena but the inner movements of your consciousness as you approach the I AM. The mountain’s smoke marks the boundary between ordinary awareness and a holy state; the people stepping back signifies the mind’s default pull toward distance when faced with the sacred. Yet the presence of God is not somewhere apart but within your own awareness. When you reinterpret Sinai as your interior landscape, the storm becomes a signal to revise belief, release separation, and acknowledge that the I AM is the steady, unseen constant within you. The outer signs invite you to collapse the distance between observer and observed, so that you perceive with the same witness that sees Moses and hears the heavenly invitation. The true revelation is a shift in consciousness, not a change in geography; as you consent to being fully present, the thunder becomes quiet, and you inhabit covenant with the I AM here and now.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes, assume the God-state now—that you are the I AM present within you—and feel that presence as real; sense the inner thunderings dissolving into unwavering calm.
