Neville Goddard on Amos 6:10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Amos 6 in context

Scripture Focus

10And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.

Amos 6:10

Biblical Context

Amos 6:10 presents a ritual, secretive disposal of a body, where a relative verifies no one else remains. Then a command is uttered to hold the tongue and not to mention the name of the LORD, signaling a hollowed or controlled worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Amos 6:10 speaks in the key of inner life. The house is your present state of consciousness; the bones are those old beliefs you pretend are dead but still govern you. The uncle who takes him up and the one who burns him symbolize the external authorities of culture and habit that want to dispose of the old man while keeping the quiet denial intact. When the question is asked, 'Is there yet any with thee?' the answer 'No' reveals a consciousness that has concluded there is no Living God present within. The subsequent command, 'Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD,' exposes a worship that values secrecy over reality, form over life. In Neville’s teaching, such a moment invites you to reverse the assumption: revolt the idea that the Name cannot be spoken in the heart and mind. Name the LORD now in thought, declare I AM presence, and feel the reality of God as your immediate experience.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and silently declare, I AM. Feel the Presence saturate your body as if it is waking to life now. Then revise any sense of absence by affirming the Name within and seeing it as your present reality.
