Desert Garden of Vision
Isaiah 41:19-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 41 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God promises to plant life in the wilderness and desert so that people may see, know, and understand that the hand of the LORD has done this and the Holy One of Israel has created it. The verse invites a shared inner recognition of divine handiwork in the world.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the wilderness of your mind becomes a soil of something new. The cedar, shittah, myrtle, oil tree, fir, pine, and box tree symbolize the many faculties you may plant in your inner climate—faith, order, joy, courage, clarity, and vitality. When you acknowledge that you are the I AM, the hand of the Lord is your own consciousness in action, rearranging impressions and turning absence into abundance. The Holy One of Israel is not distant; He is the creator of your experience, the very activity by which form is summoned into being. The clause that they may see, know, consider, and understand together teaches that inner sight travels from feeling to thought to manifestation, and the entire realm moves to confirm your inner decree. This is not mystery outside you, but the natural outcome of aligning with your divine image. Growth in the wilderness is the pattern of your own inner renewal, a sign that your life is being authored by the consciousness you consistently dwell in—the I AM forming order from timeless possibility.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the state 'I AM' here and now, and picture the wilderness blossoming with these trees. Feel the reality of this planting and declare, 'The hand of the LORD hath done this.'
