From Broken Vessel to Vision
Psalms 31:11-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 31 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalmist feels shunned by enemies and neighbors, and even acquaintances flee from him. He also says he is forgotten as a dead man, like a broken vessel.
Neville's Inner Vision
What you read as “reproach” and “forgetting” is not a fixed external judgment but a revealing motion in your own state of consciousness. The enemies, neighbors, and acquaintances are inner attitudes that project lack, separation, and fear. Yet the I AM—your true, universal awareness—remains untouched and all-encompassing. The image of a “broken vessel” is a symbolic sentence your mind speaks about itself when it forgets its divine nature. Neville’s method invites you to revise this scene from within: declare that you are seen, valued, and held by the I AM, not discarded by a cold world. Accept that the feeling of being forgotten or broken is a transient dream arising in consciousness, not your real essence. Stand in the awareness that you are already complete, enduring, and remembered by the light that never fades. Let the inward recognition replace fear, so outward appearances soften and the sense of isolation dissolves into a vibrant, present wholeness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the feeling of being cherished and intact by the I AM; revise the scene until you feel it as your present reality.
