Inner Prophecy and Self-Deceit
Isaiah 30:10-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 30 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage describes a people who want seers to refrain from truth and prophets to speak only smooth words, seeking flattering guidance rather than right direction. They plead for the Holy One of Israel to cease from before them.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through Neville's lens, the seers and prophets symbolize your inner faculties—the states of consciousness that judge what you will accept as true. When you say see not and prophesy not unto us right things, you are commanding your I AM to deny the inner vision that would awaken you. The Holy One of Israel is the indwelling God within, not a distant decree; by desiring smooth lies you push away the certainty of God present here now. Remember, imagination is the instrument by which you fashion your life; choosing comfortable deceit over truth is choosing a lesser reality. Neville would counsel you to assume the state of awareness that is already aligned with truth, to feel the presence of God within, and to revise your scene accordingly. As you dwell in that certainty, the painful edges soften and what you once called deceit reveals itself as a misread state you can correct by a simple, felt-real revision.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and repeat, I am the I AM, and truth is present in me now. In your heart revise any situation by assuming the desired state as already real, and feel the presence of God guiding you.
