Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 1:16-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 1 in context

Scripture Focus

16And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.

17Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.

Deuteronomy 1:16-17

Biblical Context

The verses command impartial justice: hear all cases, judge without favoritism, and bring hard matters to God for discernment. It emphasizes that ultimate judgment rests with God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Deuteronomy's charge lies the architecture of consciousness. The 'judgment' spoken of is not a courtroom verdict from without, but the steady discernment of your I AM. You are told not to respect persons; in truth, you are asked to treat every movement of your mind—the small thoughts and the great ones—with the same attentive clarity. When you declare that judgment is God's, you acknowledge that the inner awareness, not the crowd, is the source of any decision. If a problem seems too hard, you do not search the outer world for a fix; you bring it to the divine within and invite light to reveal right action. By aligning your inner state with impartiality, you transform conflicts into opportunities to witness your own God-level discernment. In this way, the outer world reflects the inner decree: fairness becomes reality because you have assumed it in imagination and faith.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a moment of tension, close your eyes and embody the I AM as the impartial judge within. Silently revise the scene by declaring, 'I judge righteously now; the outcome is already provided in God,' and feel it as real.
