Neville Goddard on Isaiah 59:4-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 59 in context

Scripture Focus

4None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

5They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

Isaiah 59:4-5

Biblical Context

Isaiah 59:4-5 describes a State of consciousness where justice and truth are not sought, vanity and lies prevail, and imagined mischief gives birth to iniquity; it also speaks of poisonous seeds and webs that trap the thinker.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's light, the 'they' are your own inner habits and beliefs. When you identify with vanity or fear, you conceive mischief and birth thoughts that manifest as harm. The cockatrice eggs and spider's web symbolize imaginative productions when misused—poisonous images and traps created by attention and belief. You do not confront others here; you awaken to the I AM within and choose alignment with Truth. By assuming the end of justice as your present reality, you starve those eggs of life, sever the web's pull, and dissolve the inner venom. As you persist, accountability becomes a joyous, natural discipline, and righteousness arises from within as your true state. You move from a mind fearing mischief to a consciousness that names and dissolves false images, restoring inner harmony and true justice as your inherent condition.

Practice This Now

Practice this now: close your eyes, straighten your spine, and declare, 'I am the I AM; I choose justice and truth as my present reality.' Then revise one troubling thought into a truthful image of inner order, and feel it real.
