Neville Goddard on Psalms 80:12-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 80 in context

Scripture Focus

12Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

13The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.

Psalms 80:12-13

Biblical Context

Psalms 80:12-13 laments a land whose hedges are broken, inviting plunder by passers-by and devouring beasts—an image of neglect and external assault.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, Psalms 80:12-13 speaks not of fields but of your inner garden. The hedge that is broken represents boundaries of awareness you have allowed to fall into neglect or fear. Passers-by are intrusive thoughts—voices of doubt, worry, and outside influence you mistake for reality. The boar and wild beast are the fierce energies of lack and decay that devour abundance when your mind is unguarded. The Psalm’s cry becomes a call to reclaim inner sovereignty: awaken to I AM as the conscious guardian of all that you are, and repair the hedge by an inner act of imagination. When you assume the state "I AM" actively tending the field, you stop identifying with ruin and begin identifying with renewal. Your garden prospers as you persist in the feeling that you, and you alone, are the source of order, nourishment, and protection. The reality you seek is a revision of consciousness where every thought is welcomed as a guest but not a ruler; the wild beasts surrender when the heart dwells in the truth that God dwells within, maintaining the hedge.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, declare I AM the guardian of your garden, and feel the hedge mend itself. Stay in that state for a few minutes, letting every thought align with restoration.
