The Inner Cup Awakening

Habakkuk 2:15-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Habakkuk 2 in context

Scripture Focus

15Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
16Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
17For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
Habakkuk 2:15-17

Biblical Context

Habakkuk 2:15-17 pronounces a woe on those who exploit others and revel in others' shame; it warns that violence and injustice bring judgment on the exploiters.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, the verses are not about external punishment but about inner states. 'Giving drink' to a neighbor becomes feeding your own lower self with intoxicating images of dominance; the 'nakedness' you seek to view is the raw exposure of your own unconscious projections. The 'cup of the LORD's right hand' turns on the ego that too eagerly enacts control; your glory is a fragile ego you mistake for reality, and its exposure brings shame as your inner world collapses under the weight of its contradictions. Habakkuk's warning becomes a discovery: the violence that profanes others is the violence you carry within your own mind, and the remedy is to reverse the movement—refuse to drink from others' vulnerabilities and instead drink from the Source within you, your I AM. When you cease using others as mirrors for your appetite and instead anchor yourself in awareness, you disarm the projection, reframe your story, and witness your life respond with purity, integrity, and true abundance.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling: I am the I AM, sovereign and pure; revise a memory of exploiting or shaming others, replacing it with a scene of inner peace and rightful power. Feel it real by breathing 'I am consciousness' and resting in compassionate clarity.
