Neville Goddard on Psalms 32:1-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 32 in context

Scripture Focus

1Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

3When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

5I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

Psalms 32:1-5

Biblical Context

Psalm 32:1-5 speaks of forgiveness, relief, and confession. The psalm shows that silence and denial intensify inner distress, while acknowledgment opens the way to forgiveness.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, the psalm is a map of inner states. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven is not about external judges but about aligning your self with the I AM, the awareness that never wavers. When you permit the I AM to search your inner atmosphere and forgive the imagined sin, you enter a state where guile disappears and your spirit feels at ease. The line in whose spirit there is no guile points to living without hidden motive: a clear, single minded awareness that you are whole. The consequences described—bones waxing old, the roaring day and night—are the bodily signs of unrevised belief pressing on you. The heavy hand, the drought of moisture, are symbols of a mind estranged from its natural abundance. The turning is the confession: I acknowledged my sin unto thee; not to condemn, but to illuminate. When you revise inwardly, imagining the forgiveness as already given, the iniquity vanishes and Selah becomes a moment of rest. Imagination creates reality; feel the release now, and your entire world shifts to grace.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of being forgiven now; declare, I am the one in whom no iniquity is imputed. Maintain this feeling for a few minutes, revising your inner state until it rests as fact.
