Neville Goddard on Psalms 55:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 55 in context

Scripture Focus

6And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

7Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.

Psalms 55:6-7

Biblical Context

The psalmist longs for wings to escape turmoil. The deeper meaning invites us to rest as a state of consciousness available now.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your wings symbolize a movement of consciousness, not a flight from life. You are not fleeing a wilderness, you are choosing to dwell in the I AM and let your awareness rise. The I AM is the true sky of being, and when you imagine yourself with wings you are practicing ascent in consciousness. The rest you seek is not an external condition but a settled state you claim by assumption. Let the wilderness of life be a backdrop for a new plot where you remain intact as you dwell in the I AM. Every storm or sigh is a suggestion your mind offers; you answer it by affirming the end from the beginning: you are already at rest. By dwelling in that truth, your surroundings begin to echo your inner decree, and the sense of peace becomes your natural condition. The psalmist’s plea becomes your method: refuse to identify with lack and discover through imagination the peace that is your eternal I AM.
