Emptiness to Inner Presence
Nahum 2:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nahum 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage depicts utter ruin—emptiness and void produce fear, with the heart melting, knees knocking, and deep pain across the people. In Neville's language, this is a state of consciousness that feels shattered from within.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider Nahum 2:10 as a symbolic portrait of a mind collapsed under fear. 'She' is not a city but a state of consciousness that has forgotten its source. Emptiness, void, waste—these are inner conditions that feel real to the personal sense of self. The heart that melts, the knees that smite, the dark faces—these are movements of your imagining when you believe separation from the I AM. Yet the text does not condemn; it invites you to see that such ruin exists only as you consent to it in imagination. Your awareness remains the unshaken witness, the I AM, and within that witness a new image can arise: fullness, purpose, and a return to wholeness. The moment you assume a richer feeling of being, you revise the entire scene; the void is replaced by presence, the pain dissolves into clarity, and the inner city rises from the ashes as a symbol of your regained unity.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In a moment of stillness, assume the feeling of I AM as your own essence and revise the scene, envisioning emptiness filling with radiant presence, the heart steady, the knees grounded, and the faces lifted with a calm light. Do this now and feel it real.
