Neville Goddard on Isaiah 40:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 40 in context

Scripture Focus

6The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:

7The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

Isaiah 40:6-7

Biblical Context

Outward flesh and form are fleeting, yet the Spirit behind life remains enduring. The inner reality outlasts the appearance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the text as a mirror of your inner life: all flesh is grass, a transient appearance within your consciousness. The wind that withers the grass is the Spirit of the LORD blowing on your images—your thoughts, feelings, and stories about who you are. In Neville’s sense, the body, status, and circumstance are not fixed realities but images you have accepted as real. The Spirit blowing upon them urges you to awaken to the I AM within, the unchanging consciousness that animates every form. When you know that you are the I AM, the image of a withering field loses its grip, and a new image of vitality arises in its place. Do not scold the grass; revise the inner scene until what you desire stands as your present feeling. By assuming the end and feeling it real, you shift your state of consciousness, and the outer world follows suit. The verse invites you to trust the govern of your inner life and to live from the awareness that God—your I AM—remains unchanged while forms come and go.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes, breathe, and silently affirm 'I AM.' Then revise the scene: picture the goal already present in your life, and feel the realness of that state in your chest as you would feel joy now.
