Neville Goddard on Acts 9:7-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 9 in context

Scripture Focus

7And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

8And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

9And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

Acts 9:7-9

Biblical Context

Saul's companions hear a voice but see no one; Saul is struck blind, led by the hand into Damascus, and spends three days in fasting.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Acts 9:7-9 as the inner scene of awakening. The men with Saul are the distractions that orbit your attention—sound without seeing—while the voice is your I AM calling you to turn from the old image. Saul’s fall to the ground and the blindness that follows are not punishment but a dramatic revision of sight: your present vision is suspended so a deeper seeing may arise. The companions lead him by the hand into Damascus, symbolic of grace guiding you into the city of your true self, where the outer person cannot feed the inner hunger. Three days without sight, and abstaining from food, mark a sacred pause—no external nourishment, only the quiet expectancy of transformation. In this space, you encounter the voice as your own inner I AM, molding belief, dissolving the old picture, and preparing you for a new sight that comes not from eyes but from inner conviction. If you consent, you are led to a city of revelation where you finally see with new inner eyes.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already hearing the inner voice within and that the old self is being led into a new scene. Revise the picture by declaring I AM awake now and feel it real.
