Psalm 12: Inner Voice Realities
Psalms 12:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 12 laments that the godly fade away and faithful are scarce among people, while vanity and flattering speech abound. It promises that flattering lips and proud speech will be cut off by the Lord.
Neville's Inner Vision
Psalm 12's cry for help arises from a state of consciousness that mistakes appearances for reality. The 'godly ceaseth' and 'faithful fail' signal a mind ruled by social flattery rather than the awareness of the I AM. The 'double heart' is the inner split between truth and what others say about you. Neville's reading asks you to withdraw attention from the outer speech and instead awaken to the one Presence within as the basis of all you call real. When you identify with the I AM, you stop feeding pride with flattery and allow vanity to dissolve. The 'Lord shall cut off flattering lips' becomes a symbol: your inner self, through discipline, removes the need for words that exalt the ego, and your speech aligns with the steady, true nature of God within. Thus your world shifts as you claim the enduring reality of I AM and revise your inner conversation to match that truth, irrespective of outward opinions.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM is the only reality within you. Feel vanity dissolve as you revise your spoken words to align with that inner truth.
