The Burden Lifted Within

Psalms 38:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 38 in context

Scripture Focus

4For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
Psalms 38:4

Biblical Context

The verse says guilt weighs like a heavy burden over the head, and it feels too heavy to carry.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the burden is not a thing outside but a misbelief about your own state. The I AM, your eternal awareness, has never borne guilt; it merely allows you to misinterpret a moment as reality. When you hear, 'mine iniquities are gone,' you awaken to a new assumption: forgiveness is your native state, always present in consciousness. If you revise the scene—'I am free; these heavinesses are only thoughts passing through'—the imagined weight dissolves. Feel it: a lightness at the crown of the head; a quiet, spacious breath where guilt once pressed. The turning you seek is the turning of attention from condemnation to mercy, from self-punishment to compassionate self-acceptance. In this inner shift, forgiveness and reconciliation occur not by ritual but by a renewed awareness that you are already complete. As you practice feeling it real, you discover that the burden was never external, but a belief you can release by stating the truth of your inner life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare, 'Mine iniquities are gone; I am free.' Then visualize the weight lifting from above your head and dissolving into radiant light, leaving a spacious, buoyant sense of self.
