Neville Goddard on Psalms 32:3-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 32 in context

Scripture Focus

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 32:3-5

Biblical Context

Silence and inner guilt make the body ache; when the speaker confesses, the burden lifts and forgiveness follows.

Neville's Inner Vision

Keeping silent is not merely silence; in Neville's terms it is a state of consciousness in which you refuse to acknowledge the misalignment with your I AM. The body's ache and the drought-like dryness symbolize how your inner weather follows your assumption. The I AM within you is the living God; it forgives the imagined sin when you acknowledge it and align with the truth that you are already forgiven. When you say 'I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD,' you are not petitioning some distant power but choosing a new inner identification—an inner decree that reorders your life. Forgiveness then is not earned but recognized as your native state; the weight is removed as you revise the story to reflect your true nature. Selah invites you to rest in that knowing, to feel the relief as if the relief had already occurred. If you persist in the new state, the 'iniquity' dissolves and your life flows in harmony with the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled—your forgiveness now. Dwell in that I AM-aligned relief until it becomes your present experience.
