Inner Rock, Forgotten No More

Psalms 42:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 42 in context

Scripture Focus

9I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Psalms 42:9

Biblical Context

The psalmist calls God 'my rock' and laments feeling forgotten while mourning under oppression. The passage centers on a personal plea to the divine amid pressure.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the psalmist's I as your own I AM, the conscious presence that never leaves. 'God my rock' is the inside firmness of awareness, not a distant fortress. When the line asks, 'Why hast thou forgotten me?' you notice that the feeling of abandonment arises from identifying with a temporary story, not from the truth of being. In Neville's technique, you do not battle the memory; you revise the premise. Assume that the Rock within is ever-present, that the I AM cannot forget nor fall from grace. The so-called 'enemy' is the last lingering image of separation; let it dissolve in the light of awareness. As you hold the awareness that you are the rock itself, mourning gives way to a quiet certainty. The inner voice that once cried 'forgotten' becomes the still, reassuring whisper of your eternal I AM. You are not distant; you are here, as the rock, as consciousness, as life itself, unshaken by circumstance.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare 'I am the Rock of God within me; I am not forgotten,' and feel the presence as your lived reality. Keep breathing until the sense of separation dissolves.
