Guarding Glory From Within
Isaiah 48:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 48 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse declares that God acts to preserve His own name and glory, not allowing any other to share in His sacred glory.
Neville's Inner Vision
Isaiah speaks from the premise that God will act for His own sake, to preserve the integrity of His name. For Neville, this is not a distant dogma but an invitation to live from the I AM within. The question 'how should my name be polluted?' becomes, in your inner dialogue, 'What state of consciousness am I adopting right now?' If you identify with a separate self, you pollute the divine name; if you rise as the I AM—the sure awareness that you are the living, alert presence—then glory remains undivided. Your world is an outward expression of the inner recognition you hold about yourself. The discipline is not ritual apart from you, but the decision to treat every thought, feeling, and impulse as a movement of one omnipresent I AM. The verse calls for a holiness that is inner and continuous: a faithful alignment with the self that cannot share its glory with any rival. When you inhabit that I AM, you do not seek to defend God’s name; you simply allow the name to shine through your life.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I AM that I AM, the glory of God operating through me.' Revise any sense of separation and feel the undivided presence here and now.
