Leanness Among the Fat: Inner Fire
Isaiah 10:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plainly, the verse speaks of God allowing deprivation to touch the comfortable, so that a purifying fire can burn away illusion and reveal true power. It frames suffering as a divine coaching toward inner clarity.
Neville's Inner Vision
I am the I AM, and the Lord you speak of is the inner awareness that polishes the self. When the fat ones of pride and attachment are thinned, appearances of plenty yield to the lean clarity of consciousness. The burning under His glory is not destruction, but the ignition of a refined attention that burns away dreams of separation. Do not resist the season of leanness; welcome it as the sharpening of your vision, the thinning of egoic clouds so light may pass through you. The famine serves to turn you inward, toward the I AM within, where judgments dissolve and Providence guides you by quiet fire toward realization.
Practice This Now
Practice: Sit quietly, and repeat I am the I AM while imagining inner leanness thinning the old self; then feel a warm, refining fire kindling the space behind the eyes, revealing unity with reality.
