Inner Sodom, Inner Judgment
Isaiah 3:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Outward countenance witnesses to inner states, and openly declaring sin reveals a belief about the self. The verse also implies that such inner alignment yields self-inflicted consequences.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your passage by Isaiah tells you that the face you think you wear is a mirror of the state of your consciousness. The countenance is not a mask but a sign of your inner agreement with a belief about yourself. When they declare their sin as Sodom, it is the inner admission of a thought you have entertained: a belief that you are separate from your source, deserving of punishment, and bound by it. The woe pronounced is the natural consequence of dwelling in a state that denies your inmost unity with God. But in Neville's fashion, you are invited to reverse the encounter. The kingdom is within; you can revise your self-image by assuming you are already the healed, integrated you—the I AM in full expression. State quietly, I am whole. I am divine. Feel that truth as if it is happening now; let that feeling sit in your chest until you know it as fact. The outer countenance will follow, not by forcing but by being true to the revised inner state. Do not condemn; converse with your inner God and permit the new self to birth itself.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are already the revised self—declare I am whole, I am the I AM. Feel the truth in your chest and linger in that state for a few minutes, letting it color your next moment.
