Neville Goddard on Psalms 59:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 59 in context

Scripture Focus

6They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

7Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

Psalms 59:6-7

Biblical Context

Psalm 59:6-7 paints enemies as loud, dog-like chatter and sharp words circling the city. In the inner view, these are mental states that arise in consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the city of your mind as a single state of consciousness you inhabit. The barking dogs and belching mouths in this psalm are not external attackers, but thoughts and judgments moving through your interior at eventide, the moment when fear tends to rise. The swords in their lips are the sharp words you have spoken to yourself in past moments; the whispered question who hears invites you to wear the inner ears of the watcher rather than identify with the sound. In Neville's law you are not a victim of circumstance but the I AM, the unwavering awareness that can revise any scene. To heal, assume the feeling of the fulfilled state now: visualize those assailing thoughts dissolving into quiet, and declare, I AM the one who hears yet is not moved by sound. By planting the seed of the I AM in the present, you convert the storm of outer noise into inner clarity. The belief in separation breeds foes; the decision to abide as the I AM dissolves them, here and now.
