Neville Goddard on Psalms 35:7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 35 in context

Scripture Focus

7For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.

Psalms 35:7

Biblical Context

The speaker asserts that enemies have secretly laid a net in a pit for his soul, done without cause. The plain sense is that harm arises not from justifiable actions of others but from hidden, unjust design that targets the inner life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 35:7, in Neville’s voice, reveals that the so-called traps are not out there but in my own state of consciousness. When I believe I am threatened 'without cause,' I am building a net and digging a pit in the terrain of my mind through fear and projection. The 'they' are not separate beings but the recurring thoughts, judgments, and memories I consent to as real. The I AM—the consciousness that I am—knows that nothing external can touch its reality; the danger exists only at the level of belief. The remedy is to revise the state: assume safety, worth, and protection here and now; feel the truth until it is alive in me. As I insist on that present awareness, the net dissolves and the pit loses its grip, for I no longer identify with the fear that gave rise to either. Reality shifts as I dwell in the invincible presence of God within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, declare, 'I am the I AM, safe and unbound,' and feel that truth with your whole being. Then visualize the pit and the net dissolving into light as you hold this state of awareness.
