Neville Goddard on Lamentations 4:3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Lamentations 4 in context

Scripture Focus

3Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.

Lamentations 4:3

Biblical Context

Plain sense: The verse uses harsh animal imagery to convey suffering and abandonment in the community. It hints that inner conditions, not externals alone, determine how life is nourished or starved.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner theatre, the sea monsters are not distant beasts but the stormy images of your own imagination feeding on attention. The breast drawn forth by these sea creatures is the mind’s nourishment—the very supply you have trusted to circumstance. When the daughter of my people becomes cruel, that is not a judgment from without but a state of hardened consciousness, a withdrawal from the living water of awareness. The ostrich-like wilderness represents your tendency to turn away from inner life and pretend you are abandoned by abundance. Yet none of this is fixed; the I AM within you can reverse the scene by imagining nourishment flowing from awareness into every part of you. In this light, the cry for judgment dissolves as you realize you are both the nourisher and the nourished, the sea and the shore in one continuous act. By choosing the feeling that I am all-sufficient and dwelling in that assumption, you revise reality from within.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM as the sole nourisher of your inner life; close your eyes and feel nourishment flowing from awareness into every part of you, especially the places that have felt abandoned. Hold that feeling for a moment and let it revise your sense of scarcity into abundance.
