Neville Goddard on Isaiah 47:10-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 47 in context

Scripture Focus

10For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.

11Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.

Isaiah 47:10-11

Biblical Context

The passage condemns arrogance and the self-importance that says none can see me. It warns that this self-worship invites sudden evil and desolation that you cannot avoid.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that Isaiah speaks to the inner posture rather than a distant power: a state of consciousness that trusts its own wickedness and declares I am and none else beside me. In Neville terms, such a mind contracts awareness, so the inner eye stops seeing the truth and misfortune arises as the natural result of that stance. When you identify with that image, you close the God within to seeing and you invite desolation. The remedy is to revise from the counterfeit kingdom to the I AM that is the source of all perception. Assume that you are seen by the I AM, that the all wise presence sustains you, and that your imagination acts only in harmony with divine order. Once you dwell in that awareness, the imagined evil loses its grip and a new field of order, clarity, and creative power opens. Your life is not ruled by hidden judgments but by the I AM that witnesses and renews you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling that you are seen by the I AM. Then revise the thought I am the solitary operator of fate to I AM through whom truth and harmony flow.
