Neville Goddard on Zechariah 6:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Zechariah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

7And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.

8Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.

Zechariah 6:7-8

Biblical Context

The verses describe bay horses sent to roam the earth, and a note that those going toward the north have quieted the spirit in the north.

Neville's Inner Vision

Seen through Neville’s lens, the bay horses are not beasts but the roaming states of your consciousness—restless thoughts, desires, and plans moving across the earth of your life. The command Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth becomes a practical instruction: shift your attention deliberately, survey your inner landscape, and know that movement in awareness creates the world you experience. The north country represents the ongoing pull toward seeking clarity, but the verse warns that quiet comes not from running further north, but from yielding to the I AM—the awareness that you are. When outward quests are seen for what they are — images in consciousness — you stop being governed by them. The spirit is quieted when you accept that your state of consciousness alone governs appearances. So fix your inner direction by imagining your I AM at the center and tell yourself inwardly that you are the governor of every movement. As you align with this inner truth, the external scene settles into a tranquil display of your condition.

Practice This Now

Practice: Close your eyes and assume the feeling of a settled I AM. Walk your attention through your inner landscape until the mind quiets and your world reflects that stillness.
