Inner Turn of Captivity
Psalms 126:4-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 126 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm presents captivity as a state that can be reversed, and tears shed in faith become a harvest of joy. It points to a movement from sorrow to praise as inner conditions shift.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice that the 'captivity' is not a place to flee from, but a state of consciousness to be changed. 'Turn again our captivity' is not asking God to alter outer events, but to awaken a new inner arrangement where the stream of supply—the south streams—becomes the flow of your present awareness. Those who sow in tears are not losers sowing with sorrow; they are beginner mind planting with the energy of longing. The seed is the intention birthed by feeling. When you go forth weeping bearing seed, you are going forth as a disciplined imagination, trusting that the I AM within you carries the harvest. Rejoicing is the reaping of the inner perception: the moment you accept that your state is already altered, the external visible returns become a secondary sign. The promise is not about distant relief, but about your inner returning to peace that makes brightness possible again. Practice: assume the fulfilled state; feel the tears transmute to joy; let the seed be your quiet decision and watch belief align with action.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and assume the state of your wish fulfilled as if you are already rejoicing. Gently feel the tears drying into light and declare, I AM.
