Neville Goddard on Psalms 81:15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 81 in context

Scripture Focus

15The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

Psalms 81:15

Biblical Context

The plain sense is that those who oppose the LORD should submit to Him; had they submitted, their time would endure forever.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that 'haters of the LORD' are not external people but the stubborn parts of your own mind resisting the recognition of your I AM. In Neville's terms, time is not clockwork but the habitual thought-states you persist in. If you resist the divine order within, you maintain a transient, unsettled condition; if you yield, you align with the timeless I AM, and your inner life becomes permanent, a continual demonstration of the God-state. The verse invites you to revise: imagine that your inner opposition has already submitted, that the I AM has taken its rightful place as ruler of your mind. In that alignment, the external world may still show up, yet the energy driving it comes from a center of peace that cannot fade. You are not chasing time; you are establishing a state where time endures because consciousness remains fixed in the I AM. Practice lifting the haters with a simple assumption: I am submitted to God; all inner opposition dissolves into harmony; I am awake in the timeless presence of the I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume I am submitted to the I AM, and feel the inner conflict dissolve into stillness. Breathe as if this timeless state already exists.
