Hearing the Silent I AM
Psalms 38:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 38 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse depicts a speaker who cannot hear or speak, signaling an inward silence that accompanies trial. It invites turning from outer clamor to the inner I AM.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's teaching, this psalm is a state of consciousness, not a physical condition. 'I heard not' signals an intentional turning away from the noise of sense, and 'as a dumb man' marks a meek, listening posture toward the inner Word. The I AM remains unaffected by outer clamor; humility becomes the doorway to discernment. Deafness here is a clearing of mental channels, so the only real sound is the I AM within. When you assume the presence of the I AM as your constant witness, you revoke the belief that life is governed by outward stimuli. Your inner perception becomes more real than any scream of the senses; you grow patient, enduring, and still. From that silence, discernment arises. Perseverance is simply staying with the inner reality until it animates thought, feeling, and circumstance. Humility thus unlocks the inner hearing that creates; you are the I AM, and the world you hear is only the projection of consciousness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, 'I hear the I AM within.' Imagine the inner ear opening and listen for the Word that creates your world.
