Awakening the Inner Watchman
Isaiah 56:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 56 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse portrays the inner watchmen as blind, ignorant, and sleeping, unable to bark out a warning or discernment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the Neville lens, the watchmen are not external sentinels but fixed states of consciousness you entertain. Blindness marks belief systems that refuse light—habits you accept as real without inquiry. When they lie down and love slumber, you have accepted a dream of awareness, a passive witnessing that never questions, never declares, never acts. The I AM, your true self, is the waking watcher capable of choosing a new decree. To change the world you must change your inner posture: assume you are awake now; revise the thought that you are ignorant; feel the inner bark—the voice that reveals truth—begin to sound within you. As you imagine the bark rising, you establish a new vibrational state in which perception aligns with your desire. Imagination, not circumstance, creates your experience; the apparent blindness is simply your attention diverted from your own power. The moment you dwell in the consciousness that you are the observer, the watchman becomes alert, and reality shifts to reflect your new wakefulness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the inner watchman is awake now. Feel the truth of your own alert I AM and revise 'I am ignorant' into 'I am aware and discerning,' then imagine a clear bark sounding within you.
