Endless Smoke, Inner Kingdom
Isaiah 34:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 34 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse portrays perpetual desolation and unending smoke as a symbol of persistent judgment that seems unchangeable.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Isaiah's fierce decree you are shown the stubborn belief in a ruined self, a mental weather of desolation. The smoke is not a distant inferno but your mind clinging to past appearances. Neville teaches that you are the I AM, and reality emerges from your interior state. To transform this scene, you must revise it from the feeling of the wish fulfilled, recognizing that judgment and exile arise from inner identification rather than external fate. See the desolation as a mere current of consciousness, and choose a new state in which the inner light rebuilds the ruined landscape into a city of life. In the new state you recognize that you already possess the life you seek; the unquenchable fire becomes a symbol of your steadiness as awareness, and the passage through the fire becomes merely the passing of old self-conceptions. Remember: you are the power by which the scene is imagined; change your I AM, and the world you call exiled melts into wholeness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the scene: declare, 'I AM the awareness that passes through no smoke; I AM free now.' Hold that feeling for five minutes, letting the inner life begin to rebuild the ruined landscape into a living city.
