Moab's Lament, Inner Light

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard perspective, the Moab of the verse is not a distant nation but a state of mind you carry within. The ascent to Bajith and Dibon, the high places, and the public wailing are a dramatic image of an elevated belief system that has mourned itself into vulnerability. When Nebo and Medeba cry, the outer signs—the bald heads and shaved beards, the sackcloth on the streets and atop the houses—are the symbolic clothes your consciousness wears when it identifies with lack, separation, and change. The outer lament is a movement of a mind identified with change; yet the inner observer remains untouched: the awareness that you are the I AM, not the changing scene. To reverse this, do not try to stop the crying but revise the assumption behind it: you are not a vulnerable city subject to external fate; you are the unchanging witness who animates every scene. By assuming the feeling of complete wholeness and repeating, 'I AM THAT I AM,' you dissolve the cut-off beard, the baldness, and the sackcloth as you reimagine the state from within as already victorious.
