Neville Goddard on Isaiah 47:8-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 47 in context

Scripture Focus

8Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:

9But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.

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.

Isaiah 47:8-10

Biblical Context

Isaiah 47:8-10 exposes pride and self-assertion as a delusion, showing that the faux 'I am' apart from God invites judgment and loss.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your life is a mirror of your inner state. When you say 'I am' and dwell in carelessness, you are building a small idol—an image of self as separate from the whole. In Neville’s psychology this is a misreading of who you are: you are the I AM, the single awareness that makes all things appear. The 'two things' that come—loss and widowhood—are not arbitrary punishments but the earth’s way of showing the beliefs your mind has already held. If your mind has trusted in wickedness, if you think none sees you, wisdom has been perverted by claiming a solitary judge. The remedy is simple: revise that belief and dwell in the one consciousness that sees all. Begin today by assuming the posture of the I AM, affirming that there is no other power but the one awareness within you. Feel it real that you are the I AM, the observer and creator, and let this truth dissolve the sense of separation. The appearances will shift as you align inwardly; you are not spared consequences, you are guided to a new inner state that harmonizes with life.
