Inner Watchmen Awake
Isaiah 56:10-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 56 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The text portrays watchmen who are blind and self-indulgent, greedily seeking personal gain and neglecting true discernment. It warns that such inner neglect leads to a shallow, unstable life.
Neville's Inner Vision
Isaiah's image invites you to inspect your inner watchmen—those beliefs and habits that patrol the boundaries of your life. When they are blind, ignorant, and asleep, your days drift by in self-serving patterns, chasing pleasure and validating gains from your own quarter. But you are not at the mercy of those movements; you are the I AM, the awareness that can re-sight any scene by imagining it anew. The blindness is a conviction, not a fate, and it can be revised by an act of awareness: assume the state of the watcher, not the frightened petitioner. See yourself as the one who can re-script motive—from greed to gratitude; from self-advancement to service in truth. The remedy is to claim the consciousness that I AM is the only reality and that all appearances are shapes of that awareness. When you feel the truth that you are the observer who shapes outcomes, your watchmen become understanding rather than seeking; and the life you call abundant follows as a natural expression of your inner state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and silently affirm, I AM the aware observer of my life. Then revise any urge for greed or intoxication by imagining them replaced with quiet order and compassionate attention, feeling the shift as real.
