Inner Tears, Outer Restoration

Lamentations 2:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Lamentations 2 in context

Scripture Focus

11Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.
Lamentations 2:11

Biblical Context

Verse 2:11 portrays deep grief and physical signs of distress tied to the destruction of the people. It sets a scene of intimate suffering in the community.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the line, the tears and the troubled bowels are not a record of outer fate but a map of your inner state. Your eyes weep because you have believed in a reality built from lack; your liver is poured out because a belief has run through you and exhausted your sense of abundance. The destruction of the daughter of my people signifies the collapse of a portion of your consciousness—those ideas and identifications you mistook for the self. The children and sucklings swoon in the streets of the city because your younger, creative energies are left unguarded by the sovereign I AM. To Neville’s teaching, this is not doom but a signal: you can revise. Do not fight the image; assume a new state and feel it real. Say to yourself, 'I AM the I AM, and this lament is finished; the city of my mind is restored now.' When the inner man accepts a different reality, the outer signs align with your new conviction. The entire experience becomes a waiting-room for birth into a renewed inner kingdom.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: when sorrow rises, pause and revise the scene in your mind; declare 'I AM the I AM, and this ruin is over,' then feel the inner city restored.
