Inner Clefts of Awe
Isaiah 2:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 2:21 speaks of retreating to hidden rocks in fear of the LORD; Neville reframes the clefts as inner states of awareness where belief is shifted by the awakening presence.
Neville's Inner Vision
To go into the clefts of the rocks is to withdraw your attention from the noise of the external world and descend into the quiet chamber of I AM within. The ‘fear of the LORD’ is not servile dread but the awakening awe that comes when you admit you are the one who imagines your world. When the Lord ariseth to shake terribly the earth, it is your old identifications—loss, limitation, separation—that tremble as you realize they are only permissions you gave to your dream. The stones you seek are your fixed beliefs; you climb to the ragged tops of them and discover that your security rests not in the rocks but in the awareness that fashions them. Thus the glory of his majesty shines not from without but from within, as you acknowledge that God is I AM, your present, self-sustaining awareness. The outer judgments and accountability you fear melt when you understand that you are the one who judges and thereby creates. Practically, you shift from seeing life as a threat to recognizing it as the expression of your own consciousness, and the 'earth' resettles to align with it.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit in stillness, assume 'I am the Presence within' as a living fact, and feel that awareness embracing every thought. When a fear or belief shakes, revise it instantly to 'I am the I AM; I dwell in the Presence now.'
