Neville Goddard on Amos 2:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Amos 2 in context

Scripture Focus

6Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;

7That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name:

Amos 2:6-7

Biblical Context

The passage condemns greed and oppression— the powerful sell the righteous and trample the poor, even breaking sacred trust. It calls out the desecration of holiness through exploitation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Amos speaks to the inner law that never overlooks a callous heart. In Neville's teaching, the 'three transgressions' are not distant events but inner states masquerading as reality. To sell the righteous for silver is to place external wealth above the unity of life; to trade the poor for a pair of shoes is to pant after the dust of appearances rather than acknowledge the dust of the one life under your own roof. When you accept such currents in consciousness, you profane your holy name—the I AM that is God within you—by making it a name for lack, fear, or control. The punishment spoken of is the natural consequence of identification with separation: you experience limitation only as long as you identify with a world of scarcity and power over others. The cure is simple and radical: change the state of consciousness and the world follows. See the one life in all; consent that your wealth, your ease, and your authority arise from justice, generosity, and reverence for every person. Restore intimacy and sanctity by aligning with the I AM that loves without condition.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of universal abundance and justice now; in imagination, see yourself treating others with fairness and reverence, and feel wealth and ease flowing as a natural outgrowth.
