Inner Speech and Imagination
Isaiah 59:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 59 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 59:3-4 portrays a state of inner defilement expressed through corrupted speech, harmful actions, and neglect of justice. It shows how reliance on vanity yields lies that birth mischief.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville: The verses reveal a state of consciousness, not merely external crime. Your world is formed by what you hold as true in your I AM. When you say, 'my hands are defiled,' you are naming beliefs that imagine harm as possible and allowable. When your fingers carry iniquity and your lips mutter perverseness, you expose habitual self-talk that feeds fear and disunity. The absence of justice and truth in your life is not fate but your inner trust in vanity and lies; you conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity because you have not claimed the authority of the I AM. Now reverse it: abide in justice and truth as your permanent state. Assume you are the justice you seek, the truth you plead for, the purity of your words. Feel it real in the chest where awareness resides; see your speech reformed; imagine the inner movements turning toward harmony. If you hold this stance, the outer world will reflect your new inner condition, and life will answer to the light you now entertain.
Practice This Now
Assume you are the justice you seek. Revise your inner speech to 'I am truth speaking in love' and feel it real as you breathe.
