Whispers Within the Heart
Psalms 36:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 36 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse presents the wicked declaring in their heart that there is no fear of God, showing how inner justification can mask reverence and accountability.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's view, the line 'the transgression of the wicked saith within my heart' points not to an external person but to a state of consciousness that believes it is free from divine order. The phrase 'there is no fear of God before his eyes' signals a mindset that imagines no standard or law governing thoughts and actions. This is the dream of separation—the belief that I am apart from the I AM. Yet the remedy lies in recognizing that God is not an other but the I AM within; reverence is not a rule imposed from outside but a realized state of awareness. By tending to this inner sense—refusing to feed the lie of separation and choosing to dwell in the presence of the God-awareness—you change the very seeing of life. The inner confession becomes the pivot: you either sustain the false self by clinging to fearless independence, or you align with the divine presence and let reverence shape your thoughts, words, and deeds. When you persist in this alignment, the perception of separation dissolves into unity with consciousness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the glow of the I AM filling your perception; silently affirm, 'I am the I AM, and there is reverence before my eyes.' Feel the state as already true, and let it color your thoughts and actions.
