Quiet Sea Within: Peace

Isaiah 57:20-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 57 in context

Scripture Focus

20But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
Isaiah 57:20-21

Biblical Context

The wicked are like a restless sea that won’t rest, casting mire and dirt; there is no peace for those who identify with that unsettled state. True peace comes when inner awareness is aligned with I AM, the constant presence of consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Isaiah's sea represents a mind in resistance—wickedness here is a state of consciousness that cannot rest. In Neville's terms, the 'wicked' is any belief that you are other than the I AM, a storm of judgments that churns up mire from the subconscious. When you live from that state, you experience no peace, because your inner waters reflect your inner unrest. But the God within—the I AM, your unchanging awareness—never leaves peace behind. The moment you refuse the old self-image and assume a higher state, your inner sea quiets. Picture the waters calming, the mire dissolving, and the surface becoming still. This is not punishment; it is a correction of thought. Peace is not earned by action but claimed by consciousness. If you still the mind by declaring, I AM the presence that knows no disturbance, you awaken to the peace that Isaiah points to. The wicked person is simply a mis-titled belief; your true self is the One who dwells in peace, and that is the reality now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, take a few breaths, and revise: there is peace now in the I AM that dwells within; envision the troubled sea settling into a calm, mirror-like surface.
