Inner Worship State Of Mind
Isaiah 58:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 58 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
People appear devout, seeking God's ways daily and delighting in justice. Yet their worship is primarily outward, rooted in ritual rather than genuine inner alignment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Remember that the text is a mirror of inner life. The daily seeking and delight in the ways of God reveal a state of consciousness that believes itself separate from the I AM. The phrase the ordinances of justice points to inner standards we pretend to enact, not external laws we keep. In Neville language the righteous nation is a mind that imitates virtue from memory, not living it in presence. True worship begins when you shift your sense of self from doing to being, from ritual to the inner I AM who knows itself as God. When you revise your self image to accept that you already stand in righteousness, your speech, choices, and approach to God become effortless and immediate. The day by day attunement becomes an inner recognition that God is within, and your life rearranges to match that recognition.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and affirm I AM righteousness now. Feel the reality of your oneness with God and let that feeling soften any sense of separation, then carry that feeling into the rest of your day.
