Neville Goddard on Psalms 14:2-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 14 in context

Scripture Focus

2The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

3They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

5There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

Psalms 14:2-5

Biblical Context

God looks down from heaven to see who understands and seeks Him; the psalm says none are truly good on their own, and fear arises when the workers of iniquity forget the LORD, while God is with the righteous.

Neville's Inner Vision

From this psalm I hear the voice of the I AM examining my states of consciousness. When I entertain the belief that I am apart from God, I align with 'they are all gone aside' and the sense of separation grows. The line, 'there is none that doeth good, no, not one,' becomes a mirror of my own habitual thoughts unless I decide to awaken to the reality of the I AM. The cry, 'Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?' shifts into a question I must answer within: Do I know my divine nature, or do I forget? Fear arises not from a distant judgment but from the memory that God is in the generation of the righteous—the inner company of awareness that refuses separation. When I align with this inner presence, the old dynamics of consumption and fear dissolve, and life flows as the uninterrupted action of innermost understanding. The 'generation of the righteous' is the state of consciousness I choose to dwell in, here and now, by calling upon the LORD within me.

Practice This Now

Assume the state: I AM looking from within, fully understanding and seeking God. Feel the fear dissolve as you dwell in the presence of the righteous I AM.
