Inner Return to Zion Joy
Isaiah 35:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 35 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The ransomed of the LORD return to their spiritual homeland, Zion, with songs and everlasting joy; sorrow and sighing flee away.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice that the 'ransomed' are not distant people but states of consciousness you cultivate. Zion is the inner realm of I AM, where joy resides and past sorrows lose their power. The return is not a journey across space but a relocation of mind—an assumption you dwell in until it becomes your felt reality. When you imagine yourself already in Zion, the songs rise from within and the mind hums with an unexpected light. Sorrow and sighing flee not by force but by the consent of your awareness to a new script: you have been redeemed, you are free, and joy is your natural expression. As you persist in this inner state, memory and circumstance align with it; what seemed necessary becomes superfluous as you recognize the eternal horizon of joy. The ransomed return to their true home whenever you refuse the old limitation and claim the I AM as your immediate presence. In that claim, your life is renewed—your days become songs, and everlasting joy crowns your perception.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, take a slow breath, and affirm, 'I am the ransomed; I am in Zion now.' Feel the joy as a tangible presence resting on your head, and let sorrow recede.
