Inner Visitation And Sudden Illumination
Isaiah 29:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 29 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse portrays external fears and strangers dissolving into dust, followed by a sudden divine visitation that shifts the inner state.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner library of your consciousness, the multitude of strangers is not people but thoughts and attachments that do not belong to your true self. They are dust and chaff when the I AM is called forth. The 'visitations'—thunder, earthquake, great noise, storm and devouring fire—are not external phenomena but the intensity of awareness waking you to what you already are. When you assume the state of the Lord of hosts within, the outer world shifts to reflect this inward act; the crowd of fears is dissolved into fine powder, and the conditions you call 'judgment' become a flame that purifies belief until you stand in peace. This is the spiritual law: events in your world are movements of consciousness, and a single, unwavering assumption can shift them from instability to a stable sense of reality. Embrace the feeling of the thing done, regardless of appearances, and watch the 'sudden' transformation appear as a natural consequence of your inner state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are the I AM here now. Feel the inner thunder dissolving fear as you declare, 'I AM the presence that visits this moment.'
