Inner Cloud, Beloved Voice Within

Matthew 17:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 17 in context

Scripture Focus

5While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
6And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
Matthew 17:5-6

Biblical Context

In Matthew 17:5–6, a divine voice proclaims the beloved Son as one well-pleased, and the disciples tremble when confronted with the glory.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, the bright cloud is not weather but the shining state of consciousness. The voice is the I AM speaking through your inner awareness, declaring 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased' as a present truth about you. The Son represents a realized state you can assume: a wholeness and obedience that needs no external signs. When the disciples hear and fall on their faces in fear, hearers outside ego drop into limitation; but your task is to hear the inner directive: 'hear ye him'—attend to the higher self rather than the fear of appearances. The cloud's obscuring light is the fog of old thoughts dissolving, revealing your true Self as the beloved Son, pleasing the Self that you are. The response to this moment is not to escape but to identify with the inner voice and act from that state. By consciously assuming and feeling this state as real, the world shifts to reflect it; fear recedes as faith in the inner decree rises.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare: 'I am the beloved Son, in whom the I AM is well pleased; I hear Him now.' Then spend a minute feeling that inner hearing guiding your next action.
