Eggs, Webs, and Inner Truth

Isaiah 59:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 59 in context

Scripture Focus

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 59:5

Biblical Context

Isaiah 59:5 uses the imagery of venomous eggs and a spider’s web to show how deceitful thoughts form traps. It says that feeding on those thoughts brings harm, and breaking the trap can unleash the very venom it contained.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed inward, the cockatrice eggs are seeds of judgment, fear, and the small, cunning thoughts that whisper, 'I know what others intend' or 'the world is against me.' The spider’s web is the life we build from those seeds—stories we weave about others, fate, and lack—that tighten like net around perception. To 'eat of their eggs' is to consent to those thoughts as reality, contracting life and dimming the light of awareness. When such eggs are crushed by a new assumption, a viper can spring forth if the old belief remains; yet the moment you revise, you release the venom of false limitation and set your mind free to act from a higher nature. The discipline is simple: watch your thoughts with kindness, discern what serves truth, and choose a state of consciousness in which you are the I AM witnessing the scene, not the victim of it. Then wisdom and Providence appear as your guide, and the inner world aligns with integrity, courage, and the felt sense of being guided by a loving intelligence.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and revise a current fear by declaring, 'I AM the I AM; I see through every illusion.' Feel this state fully for a minute, letting the new assumption dissolve the old web.
