Neville Goddard on Isaiah 43:8-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 43 in context

Scripture Focus

8Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

9Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

Isaiah 43:8-9

Biblical Context

The passage calls you to reveal inner blindness and deafness. It gathers the inner nations of thought to testify that truth is known.

Neville's Inner Vision

Isaiah speaks as if the eyes and ears of your mind are being summoned to illuminate your inner theatre. The blind and the deaf are not bodily faults but states of consciousness that have forgotten their true nature. When you read, let all the nations be gathered within your mind—the beliefs, memories, fears, and hopes that form your character. Ask them, in the inner courtroom, to declare former things and to justify your present perception. The witnesses are your inner senses that, in quiet, confirm whether your current feeling aligns with truth. If your inner voice says 'It is truth,' you have found the right alignment—the inner narrative matches the living I AM. The scene is a drama of consciousness, not history. By choosing a new state, you revise the outer world, for imagination is reality and you are the author. So inwardly assume you already know what you seek and that truth has been proved in you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit with eyes closed; declare 'I AM that I AM, and I bring forth every inner witness to declare the truth.' Then feel the certainty of truth filling your mind as if it already is so.
