Inner Reversal to Abundant Land
Isaiah 7:23-25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The land of abundant vines becomes briars and thorns, prompting fear and conflict. Yet by tilling the hills with a mattock, the land is repurposed for productive use, such as feeding oxen and cattle.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Isaiah passage, the day signifies a shift of consciousness. What once seemed as cultivated abundance—your cherished beliefs about security and identity—becomes overgrown with briars, and fear moves through your mind like arrows. This is not a punishment, but a signal to revise. Take up the mattock of deliberate awareness and cut away the thorny beliefs with clear, vivid imagining. As you revise, the land is re-claimed for use: oxen and cattle symbolize steadfast, practical action and daily labor in harmony with your inner vision. The fear that accompanied the old land dissolves when you acknowledge that consciousness is malleable. The hill you till is not a place of dread but a field prepared for new life, where life-sustaining energies move as you decide. The inner landscape responds to your command, not to external conditions. By choosing to till, you convert limitation into function, transforming the scene from threat into a fruitful channel of your I AM at work.
Practice This Now
Practice: close your eyes and revise your inner landscape by declaring, I am the I AM, tilling my mind's field and clearing briars. Feel the soil yielding abundance as oxen and cattle move freely in your consciousness.
