Inner Scattering, Inner Return
Zechariah 7:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zechariah 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Zechariah 7:14 speaks of God scattering the people by a whirlwind among nations, leaving the land desolate because its inhabitants turned away from their inner life. It symbolically mirrors inward neglect expressed as outer upheaval.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the scattered ones in Zechariah as states of consciousness you entertain. The whirlwind is not some distant storm; it is the sudden surge of thoughts and desires that carry your attention away from the I AM, the stable witness within. The nations you know are the beliefs about lack, limitation, and outward circumstance that you have accepted as real. When you yield to them, your inner land becomes desolate; passages close and return seems impossible because you have forgotten the ever-present I AM that animates you. The remedy is to reverse the movement. Return to the land by assuming the I AM as your sole reality and by feeling the wish fulfilled as already true. Rest in the certainty that your awareness is the ground of all becoming, not the changing events you observe. In that intentional revision, the scattered parts are gathered, the desolation ends, and the inner country springs back to life, precisely because you have chosen to inhabit consciousness rather than chase appearances.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe, and deliberately dissolve the whirlwind at your center; then affirm, 'I AM,' feeling your awareness unshakeable and the land becoming fertile again.
