Inner Stars and Candlesticks
Revelation 1:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plainly, the verse presents the stars as inner messengers and the candlesticks as inner communities within your awareness. Both are sustained and seen by the hand of the I AM.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you lies the mystery, not in distant ruins or earthly temples. The seven stars are seven intelligences or movements you carry in awareness—attention, faith, discernment, unity, truth, love, and possibility—placed in the right hand as a sign of inward authority. The seven candlesticks are the seven inner churches, the lit conditions of consciousness that illuminate your life and guide your decisions. In this vision, there is no separation between God and you; God is the I AM that perceives and imagines. When you acknowledge these lights, you place them under your control and gift them with focus, so they serve your unity rather than your conflict. The mystery dissolves as you practice the awareness that you are both observer and creator: your imagination calls forth the inner order, and your feeling of reality makes it true. By aligning attention, faith, and discernment with love and truth, the seven lights shine outward as harmony, fidelity, and action in your world.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and declare, 'In the right hand of I AM I hold seven stars and seven candlesticks.' Then feel the weight of your inner authority as you mentally name the seven qualities—attention, faith, discernment, unity, truth, love, possibility—and let their light brighten your day.
