Read Isaiah 57 in context

Scripture Focus

3But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.

4Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,

Isaiah 57:3-4

Biblical Context

The verses condemn outward worship and label the people as seeds of transgression and falsehood, inviting a shift from false idols to true inner alignment.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's light, Isaiah 57:3-4 points not to others but to states of consciousness. 'Draw near' invites you to turn from external symbols toward the I AM within—the only real worship there is. The 'sons of the sorceress' and the 'seed of adulterer and whore' depict the mind clinging to separation, images, and deception; 'a wide mouth' and 'the tongue' show habitual talking that sustains lack. When you identify with these beliefs, you sport with illusions and live as a separated self. Yet the inner truth remains: you are the I AM, indivisible and ever-present. By shifting attention to that one consciousness, you revise the entire scene and embrace a new identity grounded in unity. This is true worship: a felt reality, not a ritual. As you dwell there, life rearranges itself to reflect the inner alignment, not the old story of separation.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, inhale, and silently affirm, 'I am the I AM.' Persist in this assumption until the sense of separation dissolves and unity becomes your felt reality.
