Inner Cloud, Beloved Voice Within
Matthew 17:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 17 in context
Scripture Focus
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.
