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

Read Isaiah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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 6:6-13

Biblical Context

Isaiah experiences purification by a fiery touch and then receives the divine call to go and speak. The vision shows purification preceding mission, with a stubborn audience and a remnant yet holy seed.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this text, the coal is not a literal flame but an inner impression of truth searing through limitation. The seraph lays the coal upon Isaiah’s mouth, and the sign becomes, your speech is purged—your old self burned away by the I AM within. When the voice asks, whom shall I send, the I AM speaks through Isaiah: Here am I; send me, a decisive alignment with the divine idea. The people’s resistance—their ears heavy, their eyes shut—illustrates states of consciousness that cling to forms and refuse inner conversion. The passage invites you to a new center: a mind that feels its own purity, a heart that can hear the truth behind appearances, and a hand that acts from an inspired impulse rather than habit. The long season of desolation signals the thinning of outer forms until only a tenth remains—the holy seed as your living principle. Your duty is to cultivate that inner liaison with the 'send me' impulse, trusting that the remnant seed within you is the substance of every future manifestation.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine a bright coal touching your lips, purging fear and self-doubt. Say softly, I am purged, I speak as the I AM, Here am I; send me—and then move through your day as the embodiment of the idea you wish to express.
