Neville Goddard on Isaiah 6:5-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Isaiah 6:5-7

Biblical Context

Isaiah confesses his impurity in the kingly presence. A seraph cleanses his lips with a live coal and purges his sin.

Neville's Inner Vision

To step into Isaiah’s vision is to witness a state of consciousness awakening. You stand before the King, and the woe you utter is not condemnation but the clear awareness that your present thinking has wandered from the I AM. Your lips—habits of speech born of fear or pride—appear unclean, yet they are only outward signs of a deeper self-identity you have accepted as real. The seraph’s coal represents a piercing truth pressed into your awareness: when a belief meets pure feeling, it can be purified. The coal laid on the lips is your inner act of revision—your altar choosing to take away what no longer serves. This is not punishment but the unveiling of your true state—the Presence of God as your I AM, right now. The cleansing dissolves old narratives and reorients you to act from divine perception, so your words become a conduit for spirit rather than reaction.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: For the next few minutes, close your eyes, affirm 'I AM' as your only reality. Imagine the coal touching your lips and feel the old self dissolve into peace as forgiveness rises.
