The Dwellings Of The Wicked
Job 18:17-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
These lines describe the end of the ungodly: their remembrance perishes, they are driven from light into darkness, and they have no lasting name or dwelling. Those who follow will be astonished by their day, just as those before were frightened.
Neville's Inner Vision
These lines point not to a geographical doom but to a state of consciousness. 'The wicked' are those who forget the I AM within, who mistake a name, a house, or a reputation for true life. When remembrance perishes, it is the collapse of a past-identification; the memory of who you were fades as you awaken to who you truly are. Light is awareness; darkness is the absence of recognition. To be driven from light into darkness is not punishment laid upon you by fate, but the natural result of clinging to a story of separation. In Neville’s practice, you reverse the scene by assuming the presence of the I AM here and now: I AM God within, the living dwelling place of truth. Feel the confidence of that fact until it saturates your entire perception. The so‑called “place of the wicked” becomes a mental landscape you are healing, not a distant realm. Your day of astonishment is the moment you remember your home in God within, and the fear of exile dissolves as you rest in that awareness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and repeat 'I AM' as the felt fact of your being, dwelling in God within. Stay with the sensation for a minute, revising any fear-based story into the present reality of consciousness.
