Esau's Hidden Things Revealed
Obadiah 1:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Obadiah 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse speaks of inner things being searched out—our hidden motives and patterns—brought to light by the light of consciousness. It signals accountability before the I AM.
Neville's Inner Vision
Obadiah’s pledge that Esau’s hidden things are sought up finds its parallel in the inner man. Esau here is not a person but a state of consciousness—those outward possessions and fears we mistake for self. The 'searching out' is the inward light of I AM, the awareness that discloses what we have kept in shadow. When you listen with the inner ear, the motives, ambitions, resentments, and appetites that rule you rise into consciousness, not to condemn you, but to be owned and transformed. The moment you acknowledge: I am the one who looks, I am the witness, you permit the hidden to be named and faced. Then the light of truth rearranges the order; what was once hidden becomes an ally, a signal of where you must revise. This is not punishment but the natural stripping away of illusion, so that your true kingdom—the reign of the I AM—can be established in place of covert motive. Practice with gentle insistence: you are the observer; you are the revealer; you are the authority who converts hidden things into conscious wealth.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling of the I AM as the 'searcher' within you; invite hidden motives to surface as clear images; then revise them by affirming: 'From this moment, I know the truth of my motives and choose a higher desire'.
