Inward Inheritance Restored
Lamentations 5:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Lamentations 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
On the surface, the verse declares that our inheritance and homes have been turned over to strangers, signaling a felt estrangement and loss. It hints at exile from one's own gains and home, inviting inner reflection on what is truly ours.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here, the cry is not a report of outward poverty but a wakeful record of a state of consciousness. Inheritance and houses are not brick and land but inner endowments and the sense of being at home within yourself. When the I AM identifies with lack, strangers take the place of your riches, and alien environments appear as the only seen reality. The God I speak of is the I AM within you, the unwavering awareness that cannot be displaced. Exile becomes a psychological habit, a belief that your good has wandered off and left you outside your own sanctuary. The remedy is to reverse the identification: claim that you are the heir of your own divine substance, and that the home of your awareness is always present, regardless of appearances. In practice, you revise by assuming the feeling that what you seek is already yours in your I AM -- your house reoccupied by peace, abundance, and loyalty to the covenant within. Let imagination, not circumstance, redraw your map; the inner you can claim what the outer verse only hints at.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the feeling that you are the rightful heir of all you possess. See yourself entering a home that is completely yours, with no strangers, and dwell there long enough for the sense of ownership to take root.
