Inner Alignment in Haggai 2:17
Haggai 2:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Haggai 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
External hardship is the sign of turning away from God; in Neville's view, it reveals an inner misalignment of consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the narrative of Haggai sounds like the sound of a man waking from a dream: the 'I' that experiences is consciousness, and the Lord is the I AM within. The blasting, mildew, and hail are not punitive weather but inner storms born of the belief that you are separate from the Source of all energy. The labors of your hands represent efforts produced through a mind convinced of limitation. When you refuse to turn to me—the awareness that you are, and always have been, one with God—your outer life will mirror that inner disconnection, with difficulties piling up as discipline. The moment you accept that the only reality is your consciousness, you can revise the scene. Neville teaches that imagination creates experience; therefore, imagine yourself in harmony with the I AM, feel the certainty as if it already is. The discipline then shifts from punishment to purification: you choose again to center in awareness, drop the sense of separation, and let your inner vision govern the outward.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, 'I am one with the I AM.' Then revise your sense of lack by feeling the truth of abundance already present in you.
