Jonah's Inner Storm Awakening
Jonah 1:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jonah 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God unleashes a great wind and a sea-storm that threatens the ship. This storm points to an inner necessity—awakening the mind to its true mission.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Neville lens, the Lord is the I AM within, and the wind is a movement of consciousness. The tempest is not punishment from a distant God but an invitation to awareness. Jonah’s crisis signals the breakdown of a limited self that resists its calling. The storm jolts you from denial, offering a choice: cling to the old story or yield to the inward movement of awareness that knows itself as God. When you acknowledge you are the awareness behind the storm, you discover the danger was the door. The wind’s energy becomes fuel you direct by assuming the fulfilled state of your purpose, and by feeling the truth of that desire as already real, you align external scenes with your inner decree.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, declare 'I AM the wind and the sea of my own consciousness,' and picture the storm subsiding as you rest your attention in the completed state you choose to inhabit.
