Quiet Snares, Awake Awareness
Psalms 64:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 64 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm paints secret plotting as a confession of the mind: evildoers plot in the hidden chambers of thought and heart. It points to the inner root of outward snares, inviting you to see how inner movements birth the world you inhabit.
Neville's Inner Vision
Observe that the 'they' and the 'evil matter' are not distant antagonists, but states of consciousness within you. When the psalm says they encourage themselves in an evil matter and lay snares privily, it names the mind rehearsing fear, scheme, and control. In Neville's world, imagination is the architect of experience: unseen thoughts become visible when you identify with the I AM behind all seeing. The line 'Who shall see them?' hints that the outer world mirrors the inner scene, yet the observer—your true I AM—is never blind to it. Therefore the remedy is not to chase others but to revise the inner story: align your thinking with integrity, release the habit of judging, and declare that every motive is known to the I AM within you. By choosing a higher, steady state—purity, discernment, and compassionate power—you loosen the grip of private malice. When you dwell in that inner awareness, the heart's depths cease to breed snares, and reality rearranges to reflect your renewed sense of self.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the scene: imagine the inner plots dissolving as you affirm, I AM is the observer of all thoughts. Feel that presence and let your next thoughts align with harmony.
