Under The Yoke Of Transgression
Lamentations 1:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Lamentations 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Lamentations 1:14 speaks of a binding yoke of transgressions. The speaker suffers under what is described as a divine-hand binding that leaves him weak and unable to rise.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville's ear, the yoke is not an external chain but a state of consciousness you have accepted as real. The hand binding you is the I AM that you identify as the egoic self; when you assume you are this bondage, you experience weakness and captivity. The revival of power comes not by pleading but by revision of the sense of self. See the bindings as beliefs you can loosen by returning to the awareness that you are the I AM, the one who chooses the story. By imagining yourself as already free, you dethrone the power of the image you have accepted. The present moment becomes the new root from which all events spring, and the deliverance is your revision of what you hold to be true. In practice, dwell in the feeling that you are unbound, hold the new assumption, and let the outer world adjust to the shift in inner state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place your hand on your heart, and repeat: I am free; I am the I AM. Imagine a corded yoke loosening, the weight lifting, and you standing upright in full awareness.
