Neville Goddard on Isaiah 6:1-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

1In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

2Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

3And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

4And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

5Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

6Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

7And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

8Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

9And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

10Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

11Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,

12And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

13But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.

Isaiah 6:1-13

Biblical Context

Isaiah witnesses the Lord on a throne, hears the cry of holiness, confesses impurity, is purged by a coal, and volunteers to be sent to proclaim judgment and yet a holy remnant.

Neville's Inner Vision

See this vision as a map of your inner state: the Lord on the throne is the I AM you are when you claim full awareness. The seraphim's cry Holy, Holy, Holy is the vibration of pure perception that fills the earth whenever your attention rests in this inner height. Isaiah's woe is not punishment but awakening—recognizing a gap between habitual thought and the holy standard you now intend to live by. The live coal touching his lips symbolizes a deliberate act of revision: a felt release of old limitation as you align your speech and desires with the new truth you choose to inhabit. When the voice asks, 'Whom shall I send?' your answer, 'Here am I; send me,' becomes your decision to act from this inner state. You are told to tell the people they may hear and see yet not understand—this is the practice of steadfast inner focus until outer forms yield to your faith. The tenth remnant and the holy seed point to your privileged idea that remains when all else falls away, the living seed from which your world is formed.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, place your attention on the throne of inner awareness, and declare 'Here am I; send me' while imagining a purifying coal touching your lips, then feel your old limitations melt as your affirmed desire becomes real.
