"It Is Recorded of Me": The Inner Meaning of Psalm 40:7–8

Psalm 40:7–8 (BBE):
"Then I said, See, I come; it is recorded of me in the roll of the book.
My delight is to do your pleasure, O my God; truly, your law is in my heart."

There comes a moment when you realise the Bible is not speaking of external figures—it is speaking of you.

“Then I said, See, I come; it is recorded of me in the roll of the book.”

This is the voice of your true self—your I AM—awakening. It’s not coming from outside of you, but from within. It is the realisation that you are the one the Bible speaks of. The “roll of the book” is the story of consciousness, and in it, you are the central figure. This is the moment when you begin to recognise: I am the Creator, and all the power of the universe resides within me.

“My delight is to do your pleasure, O my God; truly, your law is in my heart.”

To “do God’s pleasure” is not about external obedience—it’s about alignment with your true nature. Neville taught that imagination is God, and that when you consciously direct your imagination to fulfil your desires, you are in harmony with God’s will. This is not about struggling to conform to a set of rules, but about realising that the law of creation—God’s law—is within you. It is within your subconscious mind, waiting to be expressed.

And where is that law? “In my heart.”
The heart here symbolises your subconscious mind, which governs your reality. It is the seat of your beliefs, assumptions, and feelings—the fertile ground where your imagination takes root and manifests in your external world.

You Are the One It’s Written About

Neville would say that the Bible is not an account of past events; it is a psychological drama about the inner awakening of the individual. This Psalm is a declaration of your awakening. You are the one it’s written about. You are the Word made flesh. And now, as you consciously align with your imagination, you come into the fullness of your creative power.

In Neville Goddard’s teachings, this passage reflects a pivotal realisation: the Bible is not an external story—it is the story of consciousness unfolding within you. Each figure, each event, is a symbol of your inner journey. So, when you read these words, see yourself in them. You are the creator, and the entire Bible is your story.
