Hearing Beyond Understanding
Isaiah 6:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 6:9 presents a decree to tell the people to hear and see, yet remain unmoved in understanding and perception, highlighting an inner resistance to truth.
Neville's Inner Vision
Let Isaiah’s phrase be read as your inner condition. The voice: 'Hear ye indeed, but understand not; see ye indeed, but perceive not' marks a mind habituated to senses without meaning, a state in which impressions arise and are accepted but the I AM remains untouched. You are not being punished; you are being invited to shift from hearing as mere noise to hearing as realization, from seeing as surface to perceiving as inner truth. The decree to 'Go, and tell this people' is your inner decree to awaken—you, the observer, must revise the script from 'I hear but do not understand' to 'I Am understanding now.' To change, do not chase outer proofs; instead cloak yourself in the attitude of the aware I AM, and declare: I hear with understanding; I see with perception; the truth within now reveals itself. By imagining that you are the one who understands, you move from a state of waiting to a state of realization. The barrier between hearing and understanding dissolves as you dwell in the identity 'I AM' that knows.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare: I am the one who understands; I hear with understanding and perceive rightly. Then dwell in that feeling-state for a few breaths, letting it sink into your body as the present fact.
