The Grievous Vision Within

Isaiah 21:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 21 in context

Scripture Focus

2A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.
Isaiah 21:2

Biblical Context

The verse speaks of a grievous vision of betrayal and plunder. It ends with a directive to rise up and cease the sighing.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your scripture is not about Elam and Media out there; it is a mirror of your inner state. The grievous vision is simply a transient movement in consciousness, a story told by fear to keep you from the I AM presence. The treacherous dealer and the spoiler are the double impulses within—the self deceiving and the mind spoiling its own peace. When you hear Go up and besiege, you hear an inner command to surround restless thought with awareness rather than feeding it with emotion. The sighing ceases when you withdraw attention from the imagined siege and return to the timeless, unmoved I AM. Elam and Media become inner dispositions you can choose to release: the urge to attack, the urge to be attacked; by choosing the stillness, you end the siege. The vision is prophecy of your own exile from the realized state and the return into it. Accepting this as consciousness, you no longer fight the forecast but revise it until it becomes the quiet fact that you are God in expression, now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit with eyes closed, revise the vision as a cloud passing and declare I AM the sovereign presence; feel the relief as the siege dissolves and the sighing ends.
