Inner Wall of Zion Practice
Lamentations 2:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Lamentations 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jerusalem's wall, a metaphor for the self's inner boundary, is surrounded by unceasing tears as the heart calls on the Lord. The text urges persistent longing and unrelenting focus on the desired state.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here, the wall of Zion is your own boundary of awareness, and the tears are not punishment but energy moving within consciousness. When the cry is constant, it is the I AM listening, not reacting to outer circumstances but consolidating inward attention. 'Give thyself no rest' becomes a disciplined maintenance of the feeling-tone of your wish fulfilled; the state you imagine is already present in your own awareness and, by returning your attention to it, you co-create its appearance in form. 'Let not the apple of thine eye cease' points to your central focus—the point of vision through which reality is shaped. Do not chase outer events; rather, attend to the inner conviction that you are that I AM, the source of all conditions. The trials and tears are the inner weather that clears as you dwell in the awareness of fullness: you are not the sorrow but the consciousness that redefines what counts as real. By assuming the feeling of the fulfilled desire, you revise history from inside, and the outer becomes consonant with your inner decree.
Practice This Now
Practice: sit quietly, form the image of Zion's wall as your inner boundary, and repeatedly dwell in the feeling that the tears are turning into joy; declare, 'I am the I AM, and this is my reality.'
