Wilderness Voice, Inner Highway
Isaiah 40:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 40 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 40:3 presents a voice calling from the wilderness to prepare the way for the LORD and to make a straight path in the desert for God.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, the voice is your inner I AM awakening. The wilderness is the thinking that resists; the call to 'prepare' is an invitation to revise your inner state. When you imagine a highway in the desert, you are not altering roads but reconstituting your consciousness so that God can walk through your life. The 'way of the LORD' is the alignment of attention with the I AM, the straight path formed by the unshakable feeling that the divine presence is now. Repentance, in Neville's sense, is turning away from old charts of limitation toward a new premise: I am the ruler of my inner world, and the external world reflects that movement. By assuming the wish fulfilled—feeling the road already wide and clear—you invite the divine to travel it with you. The wilderness voice then shifts from loud pleading to quiet certainty, and the outward desert becomes a trace of inner order, a highway that your now-aligned consciousness travels without strain.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you stand at the edge of a dry place; declare, 'The way is now prepared; I AM that I AM,' and feel a real straight road appearing in your inner landscape.
