Releasing Grief Through Inner Seeing
Isaiah 53:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 53 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 53:4 says the suffering servant bore our griefs and carried our sorrows, yet people misread his affliction as punishment from God. It invites you to look inward and recognize that these griefs are inner states you can release through awareness.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville Goddard perspective, the verse is an inner movement. The he is not a distant person but your I AM, the awareness that bears and carries every feeling you label as grief or sorrow. When you imagine yourself afflicted and assume blame, you esteem the state as punishment—yet the text reveals a hidden fact: the burden has already been borne by the I AM within you. Your job is to acknowledge that you are not your sorrow, but the witness who has carried it into being and can now revise it. By believing that the I AM bears your grief, you dissolve the identification with the pain and allow a new vibe to form—one of wholeness, release, and triumph. The servant's bearing is thus a template for an inner act of regeneration, accomplished as you shift attention from the problem to the I AM that is aware of it.
Practice This Now
Imaginatively, assume the I AM bears my grief; revise the scene to see sorrow carried away, and feel the relief as if it is already true.
