Inner Scorpion Trials
Revelation 9:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse speaks of beings with scorpion-like tails that sting for five months, symbolizing a defined period of painful influence.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's voice, this vision becomes a description of the mind at work. The 'they' are not distant conquerors but your own inner states—habits, fears, and lingering beliefs that sting when you give them energy. The tails symbolize the mechanism by which a thought-form asserts influence, and the five months mark a mental season you have allowed these beliefs to entertain. Remember: your true power lies in the I AM, your constant awareness. The power to hurt exists only insofar as you consent to it by dwelling in the impression that you are vulnerable. When you shift to the I AM and revise the scene—declare that you are unhurt, sovereign, and in command of your experience—the sting loses its force. Imagination creates reality; therefore, you can shorten or dissolve the season by holding a higher state. The five-month time frame is a symbol of a mental pattern, not a fixed cosmic decree. Identity, not circumstance, determines what you endure.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the I AM as your present reality; mentally revise the scene by affirming, 'I am untouched by any sting; my experience is governed by the I AM now.' Then feel the reality of safety and freedom as your present state.
