Neville Goddard on Isaiah 35:5-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 35 in context

Scripture Focus

5Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

6Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

7And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

Isaiah 35:5-7

Biblical Context

The verse speaks of physical renewal as a symbol of inner awakening: eyes opened, ears unstopped, the lame and mute transformed. It portrays the mind's desert becoming fertile through imagination.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the promises of restoration are not external dramas, but the movements of your own consciousness. When the eyes of the mind are opened, you see the truth you already are; when the ears of attention are unstopped, you hear the I AM speaking within you as life. The lame leap and the tongue sing signify a liberty of action and speech enabled by the inward assumption that you are already whole. The wilderness and the dry desert are not places to fear, but states of mind needing an act of imagination. As you dwell in the awareness that Life IN you is rivers, the parched ground becomes a pool; your inner landscape shifts from scarcity to abundance. The dragons—fear and limitation—reside where you have allowed your attention to rest; by steady reverie you replace them with grasses and reeds of vitality. This is not magic from without, but a revision of how you imagine who you are.

Practice This Now

Act now by assuming you are already healed and whole. Feel the opened sight, the unstopped ears, and the leap of freedom as your lived reality in this moment.
