Inner Bed, Vast Mind Space

Isaiah 28:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 28 in context

Scripture Focus

20For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
Isaiah 28:20

Biblical Context

The bed is too short and the covering too narrow for a man to stretch or wrap himself fully. It signals that earthly refuges cannot fully contain or protect the whole of life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Isaiah's image becomes a mirror of the living I AM. The bed represents the current scope of your awareness—the space you think is available to hold your life. The bed being shorter than a man's reach shows how your present self cannot stretch into the fullness you seek; the covering, too narrow, reveals the thin shield you lean on for protection. In Neville's terms, you have assumed a state of lack and called it reality. Yet the power behind every form is the inner I AM—consciousness that makes space by its very presence. Do not seek more outside; revise the inner assumption until it feels true: I am not confined by any bed, for the I AM expands the room I inhabit. I am eternally sheltered by divine awareness, and Providence flows through me as guidance, not as luck. Practice living from that assured Feeling, letting the bed of your mind widen to accommodate your dreams, while the sense of protection grows from within rather than from circumstances.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In stillness, revise your assumption and feel it real: I AM the spaciousness that holds all I am and all I need; the I AM provides an unlimited shelter.
