Inner Inheritance Remembered
Lamentations 5:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Lamentations 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse is a cry to God to remember the affliction and reproach; it notes that what should be theirs—inheritance and home—has been taken by strangers. This laments the inner loss of their rightful estate within consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Remember, O LORD is a call to awareness to assume a state of being rather than plead for mercy. In this reading, the LORD is the I AM within you, and what has befallen you is the belief that your life and home lie outside your own consciousness. The reproach you behold arises from identifying with lack; to the one who dwells as I AM, this is only a transient scene in the theatre of mind. Our inheritance turned to strangers and our houses to aliens points to the inner estate you have allowed to be occupied by borrowed thoughts. The remedy is to revise with the certainty that you are the owner of your inner kingdom here and now. Return the scene to awareness; imagine your inheritance restored as a present possession, and feel it as real in the I AM that you are. When you claim ownership, the external signs align with your inner decree. Suffering and trials become feedback that the kingdom is being cleared for a new arrangement of consciousness, not a permanent verdict on your worth.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, dwell in the feeling of ownership, and repeat: 'I am the possessor of my divine inheritance now.'
