Inner Birth Before Pain
Isaiah 66:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 66 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 66:7 envisions a birth that occurs before labor, signaling that salvation arises from within as a change of consciousness, not from external forces.
Neville's Inner Vision
Suppose you stand before the birth you desire as a consciousness you already are. Before she travailed, she brought forth is not a biology memory but a mind that knows itself as I AM. The travail you fear is simply the last grip of old belief; when you realize that the end, the man-child you seek, exists in consciousness, labor becomes meaningless. In the realm of God, where imagination is the lamp by which you walk, you do not await salvation; you become the very fulfillment. Therefore, let the image of a child be your symbol for a new state of being: vitality, clarity, love, security. When you acknowledge that you are already delivering that birth, you displace the sense of separation and awaken to the fact that the event is born now, not later. Your practice is to entertain the end and feel its reality until it is the only reality you know.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, assume the end: I am delivered of the man-child. Then dwell in that feeling and repeat until it is real.
