Despised Yet Beloved Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville Goddard, Isaiah 53:3 is not an historical ledger but a description of the mind’s inner weather. The despised, rejected one embodies a state of consciousness bound by grief and the sense of being unseen. This is the very climate your awareness can shift. The faces that ‘hide’ are the masks your I AM wears when it forgets its own presence. When you recognize that you are the I AM—the one who never despises and always sees—the sorrow loses its grip, not by fighting it but by transforming the seeing itself. The passage becomes a guide: the prophecy is the promise that consciousness awakens from such grief when you affirm your essential worth and call forth the beloved within. By choosing to align with the I AM, you revise the entire scene, and what was once despised reveals its true nature as a doorway to divine presence. The suffering points not to a distant fate but to the internal kingdom you are already creating by your awareness.
