Inner Burden Lifted by I AM
Psalms 81:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 81 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse speaks of removing a heavy burden and delivering the hands from toil, symbolizing liberation within the soul.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner text, the psalmist speaks as the I AM addressing a man who has borne a heavy load. The statement 'I removed his shoulder from the burden' reveals a shift of attention from limitation to liberation. Burdens, like the weight on the shoulder, are not external forces but states of consciousness that you accept. When you awaken to your I AM, you unlatch the carryall of worry and duty; the shoulder drops the load as if you remembered who you are. 'His hands were delivered from the pots' points to action once bound by need and fear; the hands are freed to move with grace because the mind no longer identifies with lack. The hands, once confined to the pots—symbols of anxious, repetitive labor—now perform as expressions of freedom. The deliverance is not a distant event but a revision in awareness: you imagine a shift of identity, you feel it as real, and the outer world rearranges to reflect your inner state. Therefore, the psalm invites you to dwell in the awareness that you are the I AM, and the burden dissolves accordingly.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, declare 'I am the I AM free,' and imagine a weight lifting from your shoulder. See your hands release the pots and move with ease.
