Immortal Life in Psalm 49:8-9
Psalms 49:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 49 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse proclaims that the soul's redemptive value is precious and enduring. It declares that life persists forever, free from decay.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this psalm the soul is not a distant treasure but a state of consciousness you inhabit. The redemption spoken of is the recognition that your I AM is eternal and precious, and it ceases to be touched by corruption only in your awareness. The line about living forever is not a future event but an invitation to realize immortality in the present by aligning with the timeless observer within. When you acknowledge that your life is the I AM that never dies, you stop seeking salvation outside and begin living from the state that cannot die. Your imagination, properly guided, can enact this immortality now: image and feel from the end you desire until the sense of separation dissolves. The psalm points to a decisive inner move: to rest in the truth that you are, here and now, the ever-living awareness that resists decay.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the line I AM eternal life now, and feel that life flooding your body. If fear or decay arises, revise it with the conviction that the I AM renews you at every moment.
