Inner Queen of Consciousness
Revelation 18:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Revelation 18:7 presents a self-glorifying image of worldly power that claims it will never suffer. The text warns that such pride brings torment, exposing the fragility of the ego's throne.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Neville Goddard key, the Babylon of Revelation is the ego-made empire of external wealth and pride. 'I sit a queen' is the ego's quiet vow of independence from God, a posture that pretends no sorrow will ever touch it. But consciousness creates reality, and the inner weather reflects the heart's alignments. When you insist you are separate, you invite inner turmoil as limitation fights against the infinite I AM within. The 'torment and sorrow' are not punitive but the natural friction that reveals the fiction of separation. The healing is simple: assume you are the I AM, revise the boast into a recognition of divine companionship, and feel abundance as inner light rather than glittering outward signs. Let the inner wealth replace the craving for outer provision. As you dwell in unity with Spirit, the queenly ego dissolves into awareness, and the imagined sorrow dissolves into quiet, steadfast abundance.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and step into an inner throne room. Speak, 'I AM the I AM; I sit in the eternal kingdom of God,' revising 'I sit a queen' into unity with the divine; then feel the abundance as inner light replacing any outward craving.
