Inner Counsel Revealed
Isaiah 41:28-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 41 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 41:28-29 notes there is no counsellor among idolaters; their works are vanity and their images wind and confusion.
Neville's Inner Vision
Where I see no man among those who counsel, I am shown my own inner condition. Outward voices fail because true counsel does not come from weathered hands or carved images, but from the I AM that I am aware of here and now. When I ask of them and receive no word, I am invited to revise my assumption: the images I worship—fear, limitation, lack of discernment—are winds and confusion already within me. The ‘vanity’ of their works is the vanity I entertain when I forget that imagination is the builder of reality. So the remedy is simple and practical: acknowledge the inner I AM as the sole counselor, imagine from wholeness, and feel the reality of wisdom arising from within. Idolatry then reveals itself as misaligned desire; true worship is alignment with consciousness itself. In this inner alignment, discernment returns, guiding choices, shaping events, and transforming what I once called absence into presence.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and declare, 'The I AM within me is my counsellor.' Visualize the problem dissolving into light and feel the inner certainty that wisdom now resides within.
