Lamentations 1:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Lamentations 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse depicts the Lord pressing down the mighty and the vulnerable, symbolizing divine judgment and upheaval within Judah, presented as an interior experience rather than a literal event.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the reader, see this as a map of your inner weather. The LORD trodden under foot is the I AM washing away the old self—fear, pride, and cramped stories you tell about yourself. The mighty men, the virgin daughter, and the assembly are not distant persons but states of consciousness you have identified with. When you allow the I AM to press through, you experience not punishment but purification: a juice of truth flowing from the intersection of attention and acceptance. In that pressure, all judgments reveal a single fact: you are the observer, not the observed, and your true nature cannot be crushed. By consenting to this inner drama, you revise the scene from within, and the outer life follows. So inhabit the feeling that you are the I AM, that the old forms are being pressed out, and a new, unified self stands revealed. Imagination creates reality; use it now to render yourself whole and free.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare 'I AM' now; revise the scene by seeing the winepress purify your thoughts, pressing out fear and doubt until a unified self remains.
