Neville Goddard on Isaiah 64:8-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 64 in context

Scripture Focus

8But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

9Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.

Isaiah 64:8-9

Biblical Context

Isaiah 64:8–9 presents God as our Father who shapes us like clay in His hand, calling on us to forgive and remember that we are all His people.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the I AM, God is the Father who fashions the moment. The clay and potter image reveals that my life is a state of consciousness, shaped by awareness itself. When I feel anger or memory of sin, I am simply forgetting the truth that I am already under the divine hand. To align with this chapter, I must stop seeking from without and begin assuming from within: I am the Father of this experience; I am the clay being formed by the Potter of my awareness. By this revision, I release the sense of iniquity and affirm that we are all the work of Thy hand. The cry 'Be not wrоth' becomes a gentle correction of my own thought, not a punishment from a distant God. When I dwell in that presence, mercy is already mine—present in the act of awareness that remembers who I am and who all are, in a single sacred state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and revise your sense of self by repeating, 'I am the clay; the Potter is shaping me now.' Feel the hand of God in your present moment and rest in the mercy that is already yours.
