Inner Healing Psalm 41:8-9
Psalms 41:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 41 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm depicts an evil disease clinging to the speaker and a trusted friend betraying by lifting his heel, signaling deep suffering and treachery. It hints that the outer scene reveals an inner state of consciousness at work.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the psalm, the 'evil disease' is not a bodily blight but a belief arising in your thinking that you are apart from life. The trusted friend who eats bread and then lifts his heel is a symbol—an old habit of trust, a memory-image that seems to divide you from the source of all health. But you are not imprisoned by appearances. The I AM, your true awareness, remains intact behind every scene; when you lift your attention to that I AM, the sense of separation dissolves and health returns as your natural atmosphere. The 'disease' and the betrayal fade not by fighting them but by returning to the fundamental truth that God’s life flows in you now and forever. You do not deny the pain or the loss; you simply refuse to identify with them as real. In that reversal, you discover that the state you desire already exists within you as your essential being. As you dwell in that inner unity, the outer world conforms to your revised sense of self, and where once there was suffering, now there is vitality and trust.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe, and assume, 'I am the I AM; health and harmony are mine now.' Then revise the scene by seeing the betrayer as an aspect of your consciousness returning to love, and feel unity flooding every part of you.
