Inner Sheep and Sacrifice

Isaiah 53:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 53 in context

Scripture Focus

6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
Isaiah 53:6-7

Biblical Context

All humanity goes astray and turns to its own way; God lays on the suffering servant the iniquity of us all. The passage also depicts the servant's quiet, obedient endurance under oppression, like a lamb.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that this passage speaks not of external history alone but of states of consciousness. We like sheep have gone astray is your wandering mind, the moment you forget the I AM that you truly are. When the Lord lays on him the iniquity of us all, understand that the burden you feel is a reverberation of a belief in separation, your old self projecting guilt onto a sacrificial figure within your imagination. The appointed servant is your realized self, the Christ within, which endures oppression and affliction without argument because it refuses to identify with the drama of separation. When he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter and remains dumb before the shearers, it is the inner quiet that conquers noise; you stop feeding the illusion of fault and you allow the truth of your God given nature to speak in place of the ego. Forgiveness and atonement occur not by appeasing a distant judge but by accepting that you are already one with God in your I AM presence. Through this inner alignment the old self dies and you awaken to your constant state of wholeness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the I AM presence as your lived reality. Revise the sense I am separate into I and God are one now and feel it real as you breathe; imagine placing guilt on a lamb within your inner theater and watch it melt into light.
