Woe Within: The Inner City
Nahum 3:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nahum 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Nahum 3:1 condemns a city teeming with violence, lies, and robbery, where the prey never escapes. It also invites seeing this city as a state of consciousness, not a distant location.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Nahum 3:1, the 'bloody city' is not a place out there but a state of consciousness. It is the mind gripped by fear, habit, and the old stories that justify deceit and theft. The cry 'woe' is a wake-up call, telling you that you can change the scene by turning your attention to the I AM—the awareness that never leaves you. When I claim that the city is already governed by truth and integrity, I dissolve the power of the former image. Lying and robbery dry up as I maintain a constant state of truthful perception, and the 'prey'—the neglected or coerced parts of myself—are set free as I align with the one reality that I AM. This is prophecy and promise: your inner kingdom reorganizes your outer life as you persist in identifying with the truth of your being. Imagination creates reality; therefore I revise the inner image until the outward circumstances reflect a reality where deception cannot endure and light prevails.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise: assume your inner city is now truthful and just. Feel the liberating sensation as lies dissolve and deceit ceases, until this new state feels real.
