Mercy Beyond the Grave
Psalms 88:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 88 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? The verse asks whether mercy and steadfast faith endure after death and can be proclaimed in the darkest hours.
Neville's Inner Vision
The grave is not a tomb but a state of consciousness where the sense of separation seems final. Lovingkindness and faithfulness are not past deeds or posthumous credits; they are present through the I AM, the living awareness within you. To declare mercy in the grave is to awaken from the dream of loss by turning from outward conditions to the inner ruler who knows no death. When you imagine yourself as one whom mercy cannot abandon, you act on the truth that your inner life is continuous and faithful. Each moment you renounce destruction and reaffirm wholeness, you dissolve the grave as final decree and invite the light of mercy into your current experience.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM is your constant reality and softly affirm, 'Mercy and faithfulness are here now.' Let that assurance radiate until it feels like a warm light expanding through your chest.
