Inner Look in Lamentations

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader, this passage is not about a city under siege in time, but your inner state under siege by unresolved thoughts. 'All our enemies' are the voices of doubt and judgment that have opened their mouths against you in your mind. 'Fear and a snare' are the false beliefs that trap you in a future you do not desire; 'desolation and destruction' are the empty results you experience when you forget the truth of the I AM. The line 'Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven' points not to a distant rescue but to the awakening of awareness within you. You are the I AM looking through the eyes of your own consciousness; when you realize that your life is the city seen by that divine observer, tears lose their grip as you identify with a stable, loving presence. In this light, the external appears as a mirror of your inner state, and the fear dissolves as you revise the scene to reflect divine order. The moment you claim 'I am the I AM,' you rewrite the drama and birth a life that reflects peace.
