Hidden Counsel, Potter's Reversal
Isaiah 29:15-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 29 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses warn that those who hide their plans from the LORD think they are unseen, and that the order of creation is broken when pride overturns the true maker.
Neville's Inner Vision
Plainly, Isaiah speaks to you, the inner self, about the habit of turning the mind upside down—believing that your secret plans are hidden from the I AM. In Neville's key, the 'LORD' is your own awareness; the 'dark' is the hidden posture of fear and pride within you. To say, 'Who sees us?' is to deny that your state of consciousness is the craftsman of your world. The 'potter's clay' reversal is not a condemnation of matter but a reminder that what you call created is but an image formed by your own imaginative acts. When you exalt yourself, you create a counterfeit order, treating thought as if it were independent from the One who framed it. But behind every appearance, there is a single, loving brain—your I AM—that remembers and governs form. The cure is simple: assume the truth of your unity with the divine maker, revise every hidden counsel in light of that awareness, and feel the reality that all you see is the clay of your own making, shaped by the unseen hand. By choosing to know the maker and the created as one, you re-establish order and humility within.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare: 'I am the clay; You are the potter; You see all my inner plans.' Then revise hidden motives by acknowledging divine order and feeling your life aligning with the maker's understanding.
