Inner Hunger, The Quiet King
Habakkuk 2:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Habakkuk 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Habakkuk 2:5 portrays an insatiable, prideful ego that cannot be satisfied and seeks to dominate through craving. The outer world then mirrors that inner hunger, gathering experiences to fill a spiritual vacancy.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed from the I AM, the verse is a revelation of your inner states, not a distant ruler. The 'proud man' is a consciousness that has transgressed by wine—the belief that happiness comes from more pleasure, more status, more possession. When you inhabit that state, you become restless, leaving your inner home and driving your desires as hell—unquenchable and deadly to true peace. The line about gathering all nations is the psychic image of your mind drawing circumstances, people, and events to confirm the illusion of lack and control. But this interpretation is a dream of separation. The remedy is not withdrawal from life but the conscious revision of your assumption: you are the I AM, already complete, and fulfillment flows from within. Return to inner sovereignty and imagine your desires fulfilled there. Let your imagination align with this inner kingdom, and the outer world will reflect an order that matches your inner state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine a warm inner throne room where you sit as I AM. Then affirm softly, I am whole; all my needs are met in this inner kingdom, and dwell in the spacious feeling of completion.
