Inner Pool, Flee and Stand
Nahum 2:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nahum 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Nahum 2:8 pictures Nineveh as an old pool, stagnant and unreliable. It declares their flight and cries to stand, but none will look back.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the psyche, Nahum's Nineveh is a stubborn image, an old pool of water held in the mind. It feels permanent, yet the scripture speaks of flight—thoughts that rise to flee when confronted by a new dream you now accept as true. The repeated 'Stand, stand' is not a call to a distant city but a ritual of imagination, testing whether you will cling to the old picture or acknowledge the I AM, the unchanging awareness within. When you identify with the newer image you now assume as true, the old pool dries; the cry to look back loses its force because you are no longer tethered to the former pattern. The inevitability of flight reveals the law of consciousness: where you place your attention, you place your life. So today, choose the image that aligns with your true self, and carry yourself as one who stands in perpetual awareness. Let the inner I AM affirm what your senses have not yet perceived—that you are already free, and freedom is your natural state here and now.
Practice This Now
Practice: Close your eyes, rest your hand on your chest, and assume the new image until it feels true; imagine the pool drying and you standing in unchanging awareness.
