Silencing Smooth Prophecies Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Isaiah's line, the seers and prophets are inner faculties of awareness rather than distant officials. The urge to say see not and prophesy not to us right things reveals a state of consciousness that refuses transformation, preferring smooth words that soothe fear over accurate reflection that provokes growth. In Neville Goddard's sense this is a denial of the I AM's power to create through imagination: if I refuse to entertain the truth I seek, I resist the very act by which I am made new. The outer world then mirrors an inner habit—comfort before clear vision. The cure is decisive: assume the truth you wish to inhabit as already real. Sit in the awareness that you are the I AM, the source of perception, and that imagination is the instrument by which realities are formed. By revising your assumption, feeling it as real, dwelling in the conviction that right understanding is yours now, you dissolve the deceit and let truth arise. The seers awaken as your attention and the prophets as your imaginal faculty to re-create.
