Awakening Inner Sight
Isaiah 42:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 42 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 42:19 poses the paradox of blindness in one who serves and communicates for God, highlighting that duty alone does not guarantee inner sight. It contrasts service with true perception and invites a shift toward inner awareness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Who is blind but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? These words describe a state of consciousness, not a person far away. The servant and the messenger are inner faculties—awareness that bears task and proclaims truth—yet they can be deaf and blind when you mistake their form for the reality they reflect. The 'perfect' who is blind shows that spiritual attainment, when identified with form and function, can miss its source. The cure is not more effort in the world but a turning of attention back to the I AM behind every action. When you align with the Living One within, the servant becomes the instrument of seeing, the messenger becomes the voice of inner truth, and blindness falls away. This is the promise hidden in the indictment: you are tested by your capacity to remain awake to God as your own awareness, not by the noise of duty. Treat the verse as a summons to inner capital-S Seeing—the awareness that already knows and commands; your outer life will reflect that inner alignment.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and in mental stillness declare: I AM the seeing, I AM the hearing. Then rest in the feeling that the inner I AM is present now, guiding both thought and action.
