Inner Heavens, Self-Authority
Psalms 73:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 73 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 73:8-9 depicts a people whose speech is corrupt and lofty, boasting while oppressing others. It reveals how the ego proclaims power as if it stands against the heavens, a dramatic inner drama of self-importance.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of 'they' as a trio of inner states: corruption, pride, and aggressive speech that seem to govern your life. Their loftiness is a sign of the ego declaring itself above the heavens—the I AM within. The phrase they set their mouth against the heavens and their tongue walketh through the earth describes an inner chorus that courts control and separation. In the Neville Goddard frame, the world you experience is the dream of an assumed identity; you are not bound to act from that script. To break the spell, you must refuse identification with those loud images and rest in the I AM, the true heavens of your consciousness. Revise the inner talk by affirming justice, balance, and compassion; let your inner voice align with truth rather than domination. As you persist in this revised state, the outer scene shifts to reflect the inward decree, and the once-lofty talk fades into harmony with your real nature.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, breathe, and declare I am the I AM, the heavens within. Feel that sovereignty as your speech aligns with justice and peace, while the old loud cadence loses its grip.
