Remembering the Inner Lord
Lamentations 5:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Lamentations 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse pleads for God to remember what has befallen the people and to notice their reproach.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's psychology, 'Remember' becomes a call to awaken to the I AM within. The verse casts the outer pain as an inner movement of belief; to 'remember' is to fix attention on the living awareness that is always now. By examining what you have accepted as real (the reproach), you can revise it by picturing the inner Lord—your true consciousness—present and watching. Imagination creates reality, so dwelling in the felt sense of wholeness dissolves the sense of reproach and reorganizes perception. The speaker does not petition a distant deity but returns to the sovereign state of awareness that never leaves. As you rest in that state, the scene shifts: the reproach loses its grip, and the inner witness remains steady, transforming suffering into a fresh landscape of possibility. This is not denial but a conscious re-embodiment of your true nature, where God is the I AM and every circumstance becomes a signpost toward wholeness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the remembered state now: feel the I AM as present awareness and revise the scene by affirming, 'I remember the Lord within me, and I behold my wholeness now.' Let that feeling of wholeness settle into your chest and rest there until appearances align.
