Grass on Roofs, Inner Victory
Psalms 129:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 129 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 129:6-7 portrays enemies as nothing lasting—like grass on rooftops that withers before it grows. Their schemes yield no harvest for them, while those who trust in their inner reality stand secure.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's inner-watcher language, the 'grass on the housetops' are fleeting thoughts of opposition that arise in the house of your mind. The mower and the binder represent habitual efforts to grasp power from without; but as you identify with the I AM, you stop investing attention in the drama. Your true self, the awareness that never slept, remains untouched by any outward attack. See the outer scene as a projection of inner states and choose to revise it: allow the image of attack to wither away, while you dwell in the constant, unshakable feeling that you are consciousness itself. When you hold this state, the "harvest" no longer belongs to fear or enemies; it belongs to inner truth, faithfulness, and the future you imagine into being. Through repeated assumption, you reframe opposition into a sign that your inner kingdom is already established and powered by imagination.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Close your eyes, assume I AM as your sole reality and revise any opposing scene into withering grass on a rooftop. Feel your inner peace expand as the dream dissolves.
