Within Babylon, Return to Self
Psalms 137:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 137 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plainly, the verse speaks of Babylon’s downfall and promises blessing to those who repay as one has served, while framing exile and the hope of return.
Neville's Inner Vision
Babylon is not a foreign city but a stubborn state of consciousness that believes in separation and threat. O daughter of Babylon is a call to name that inner posture and observe its workings. When you understand that to reward as thou hast served us is law, you realize you are aligning with the I AM, not seeking vengeance. Judgment and accountability become an inner discipline: you witness the pattern of grievance and deliberately choose the opposite motion, imagining unity, order, and justice within. Exile is the mind convinced it is apart from its wholeness; return occurs as you plant Zion in your heart, an inner realm of harmony. The prophecy and the promise are one: your awareness can outgrow Babylon by choosing a new story that honors truth over retaliation. Thus the outer reality dissolves as the inner state is held in the image of wholeness and rightful power.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling of inner justice until it is real in your body. Then declare I AM the ruler of this inner state; Babylon dissolves as I return to Zion.
