Neville Goddard on Isaiah 6:8-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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 6:8-10

Biblical Context

Isaiah records a divine call and a willing response, followed by a mandate to speak to a resistant people; the inner meaning shows that awakening is an inner choice that precedes any outward mission.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the voice in Isaiah is the I AM within awakening to its power. 'Whom shall I send?' is the call your consciousness makes to itself, and 'Here am I; send me' is the decisive act of embracing your own creative power. The instruction to go to this people—hear/D understand not; see/ perceive not—reveals that the external narrative mirrors inner states: a mind that clings to appearances, ears dulled by doubt, and eyes shut by habit. The 'fat heart' and closed eyes are not punishment but a diagnostic of attachment to limitation. Healing occurs not by changing others, but by transforming your own state of awareness—converting from fear to faith, from seeing as lack to seeing as fulfilled possibility. The mission is inner: to declare and embody the truth you are becoming. When you accept the call and dwell in the I AM, conversion happens, and healing follows as a natural consequence of awakened consciousness.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner state: 'I am the one sent; I am the I AM in action.' Practice dwelling in that awareness for a few minutes, and revise a current limitation by imagining you already embodying the healed state you seek.
