Neville Goddard on Isaiah 1:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 1 in context

Scripture Focus

5Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

6From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

Isaiah 1:5-6

Biblical Context

The passage depicts a people whose entire being is sick from head to foot, with wounds that have not been healed, signaling an inner need for renewal.

Neville's Inner Vision

What you read as a nation of people is the mirror of your own consciousness. The ‘head’ that is sick and the ‘heart’ that faints are your beliefs and feelings about yourself when you doubt your vitality. The line from sole to head—no soundness, only wounds—speaks of a mind convinced by limitation, fear, and habit, not of distant history. In Neville’s way, this is an invitation to awaken a new state. Do not seek reform in the outside world; align with the I AM that already Is within you, and declare, here and now, that you are whole, sound, and held by undying life. As you inhabit this new assumption, the imagined sores begin to soften; the old revolt dissolves as the inner atmosphere shifts. The condition of decay gives way to a living pattern of health, because you have chosen a different inner truth, and your life must reflect that truth back to you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and silently affirm, I AM the health of Being in this moment; imagine a warm, life-giving ointment of awareness sealing every part from head to foot, and feel the sense of wholeness settling in now.
