Inner Rulers: Wise Council Within
Deuteronomy 1:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plainly, the text invites you to gather wise and understanding guides among your tribes, and God promises to place them as rulers over you.
Neville's Inner Vision
You are the I AM, and the call is to assemble a council of inner discernment. From within your consciousness, choose wise faculties—understanding, prudence, and perception—and permit them to govern your life. When you acknowledge these rulers, you are not granting power to something outside you; you are acknowledging the authority already resident in awareness. The verse is a directive to revise your state of mind: appoint the inner governors known in your inner tribes, and let their rulership shape your choices, habits, and reactions. In this light, the Kingdom of God becomes an inner government, orderly and protective, operating through clear perception, steadfast faith, and calm obedience. Your imagination does the actual appointing; your feeling of the wish fulfilled confirms the rulership. If fears arise, revise by returning to the felt sense of inner governance, and observe the outer world respond to this new state as it aligns with your inner rulership.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Tonight, envision a council of wise inner rulers seated within you and declare their authority over your thoughts and feelings; then feel the sustained calm and clear direction radiating through your day.
