The Wounded Shadow Healed

Isaiah 53:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 53 in context

Scripture Focus

4Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:4-5

Biblical Context

The verse describes a servant who bears our griefs and sorrows. Though many call him afflicted, his wounds bring our peace and healing.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture Isaiah’s servant not as a distant figure but as your inner state of consciousness that bears griefs and sorrows. In Neville’s language, God is the I AM within you—the awareness that witnesses every sensation. When you feel weighed down, you are seeing an old picture; the true picture is your mind choosing peace. He was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities, not to punish you, but to reveal the fixed law: your chastisement of peace is upon the one you conceive as outside, yet you are the one who feels, assumes, and revives. The stripes are not tokens of punishment but marks of belief meant for revision. By embracing the end—health, harmony, restoration—you change the scene entirely. Peace is not earned from the world; it is the natural state of the I AM reasserting itself. When you dwell in that feeling, your life arranges itself to reflect it; you are saved, restored, and made new by your own inner assumption.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the healed state as your own now. Revise any scene of sorrow by saying 'I am healed and at peace,' and feel it in your body.
