Inner Fire of Isaiah 34
Isaiah 34:9-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 34 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 34:9-10 portrays a land where streams turn to pitch, dust to brimstone, and a burning waste that cannot be quenched.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville's ear, this is a map of consciousness, not geography. The streams turning to pitch and the dust into brimstone reveal fixed thoughts and dried feelings that keep you in a waste land of memory and fear. The land burning, unquenched, and the smoke rising forever, is the texture of a state convinced of lack, separation, and the consequences of past choices. Yet 'none shall pass through it' invites a choice: you may linger in the old fire, or awaken to the I AM within—your present awareness that can govern the climate of your mind. When you assume a new state of consciousness—one of wholeness, certainty, and ease—the streams are imagined anew; they become living streams of vitality rather than filth. The fire converts into a signal to revise, not a sentence to serve. Your practice is simple: assume a state you desire, feel it real now, and let that feeling carry you beyond the waste into a land that answers to the new life you imagined.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, feel yourself as the I AM, and assume the desired state as already yours. Stay with that feeling until the old inner fire quiets and a new landscape appears.
