The Inner Walk Through Affliction
Psalms 116:9-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 116 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The speaker affirms a life lived before the Lord in the land of the living, linked to belief and spoken words. He confesses great affliction and the error of hasty judgments, recognizing the challenge of trust in others.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice the Psalmist’s journey as a map of the mind. To walk before the LORD in the land of the living is to move within with the consciousness that you are already complete. Belief is not a memory of fact but a living state you assume until it animates your speech and your world. When he says, I believed, therefore I spoke, he demonstrates the law: feeling is the fountain of expression, and expression becomes the outward scene. Affliction is only a contracted state of awareness, a belief in limitation; the moment of haste—All men are liars—uncovers a veiled assumption about separation. Your task is not to conquer others but to revise the self that feels tested by appearance. Stand in the assurance that the I AM within you is the truth of all beings, and let that wholeness color your thoughts, speech, and sensations. As you persist in this inner posture, the world you call 'living' will bend to that base of consciousness, bringing endurance, faith, and a future that was already present in the pure you.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and assume the feeling 'I AM' as your present reality. Speak one sentence from that state—'I walk before the LORD in the land of the living'—and revise any quick judgment into trust.
