I Am the Affliction Seer
Lamentations 3:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Lamentations 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plainly, the verse states that the speaker has personally endured affliction as the rod of wrath. It presents suffering as a decisive inner experience.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this line the 'I AM' identifies with a consciousness that has endured a storm of inner discipline. The verse does not fix you to outer judgment, but reveals you as the observer who can witness fear, pain, and limitation without surrendering your I AM. To Neville, God is not a punishment but the awareness that shapes your world. The 'rod of wrath' becomes the pressure of an old belief—perhaps you are separated from your good—pressing you to wake to the truth that you are not the suffering, but the awareness behind the scene. The man who sees affliction is the same I AM that can reverse the scene by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Do not argue with the outer story; instead, dwell in the present I AM, and imagine a release, a restoration, a new order that confirms your oneness with peace. By reviving the inner state you desire, the outer events align with that inner conviction.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and rest in the I AM. Assume the feeling of complete restoration: 'I am whole, I am free.' Then imagine the rod dissolving and the scene yielding to peace as your inner state shifts.
