Inner Lifting, World Scattering
Isaiah 33:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 33 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse describes external tumult that causes people to flee, and when the self is lifted up in awareness, the nations are scattered.
Neville's Inner Vision
All Scripture is a description of states of consciousness. In Isaiah 33:3 the noise of tumult is not an event to fear, but a signal of your inner condition. When you imagine yourself lifted up in the I AM—aware that you are the presence that causes the scattering of the 'nations'—the outer disturbance dissolves. The people fleeing represent thoughts and circumstances that flee before a new inner posture. The lifting up of thyself is the act of turning attention from fear to the feeling of I AM, of claiming sovereignty over your inner climate. As you hold this elevated sense, the internal force reorganizes the seen, bringing resolution, scattered conditions resolving in your favor. The kingdom of God here is a state of consciousness, not a place, and it manifests as order when your awareness persists in its own rising. So practice: imagine you are already the lifted One; feel it in your chest; bless the noise as a sign that old forms yield to the light you insist upon.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and declare, I AM the lifting up of myself; feel the inner light expand, and allow the noise to dissolve. Keep the feeling for several minutes, revisiting it whenever tumult returns.
