Neville Goddard on Isaiah 6:7-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Isaiah 6:7-10

Biblical Context

The vision begins with a cleansing touch that purges sin, followed by a divine call to go and speak. The people who hear are depicted as resistant, so healing comes only when the heart truly understands.

Neville's Inner Vision

Seeing this text through the Neville lens, the whole scene is a drama of inner state. The laying of the coal upon the lips is not ritual but the moment your awareness is moved to speak from the I AM. 'Lo, this hath touched thy lips' means a cleansing of self-concept—your old stories about sin and failure are purged by the recognition that guilt is a thought, not a fact. When the voice asks, 'Whom shall I send?', the real question is: which version of you will answer from the stillness of God within? The daring 'Here am I; send me' is your decision to make imagination your instrument and to identify with the one who speaks for divine purpose. To 'go, and tell this people' is to project a new frequency into your outer world, a message that their ears and eyes may resist, yet the inner turn of the heart can heal. The harsh commands about hardening the heart reveal the resistance of habitual beliefs; but healing comes when you stop listening to the outer noise and understand with the heart, converting belief into living presence.
