Inner Shepherds of Abundant Mind
Isaiah 56:11-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 56 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses expose inner states of greed and self-serving leadership that chase external pleasures. It warns that such patterns promise abundance tomorrow while neglecting present inner nourishment.
Neville's Inner Vision
These lines do not describe other people; they reveal the play of your own mind. The 'greedy dogs' and the 'shepherds' are inner habits, chasing gain and trying to fix life by external drinks and outside success. When you hear I will fetch wine, you are listening to a memory of lack that says life must come from somewhere else. Neville's approach teaches that consciousness is God and the I AM is the only reality. Replace the old move with a new assumption: the abundance you seek is already present as awareness, here and now. As you dwell in that reality, the dog-like hunger quiets, the shepherd's voice becomes a guide to inner stillness, and your life arises from a fullness that cannot be diminished by circumstances. Do not resist appearances; revise them by declaring that the state of abundance is your primary fact. Feel the warmth, certainty, and sufficiency of being; let that feeling occupy the body until it is your first impression of every moment.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assert I AM here now; revise the verse in your mind to declare that greed and tomorrow's abundance dissolve into present inner abundance. Then feel that inner provision as a steady, comforting flow.
