From Wilderness to Inner Promise
Deuteronomy 1:19-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage recalls leaving Horeb, wandering through a perilous wilderness, and reaching a moment to enter the land God has set before you, urged with courage and trust. It invites faith and bold action to possess what is promised.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this text, the wilderness is your restless mind; Horeb is the fixed belief you depart from when you accept a new version of yourself. The land before thee is the end-state you have not yet recognized as yours, but God—your I AM awareness—has already placed it within reach. The command to 'go up and possess' is a directive to shift your vantage point, to ascend in imagination beyond the old conditions and claim the state by feeling it real. The Amorites, a symbol of doubts and fears, are not obstacles in reality but vibrations of your own consciousness that you must outgrow by conscious assumption. Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: this is not a future rescue but present possibility awaiting your inner yes. Do not fear or be discouraged; your inner posture of trust turns possibility into certainty. When you persist in assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, the wilderness begins to yield, and the land becomes your experiential reality. The journey is a correction of inner alignment until 'land possesses' is a felt truth.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and enter the moment that you have already possessed what you desire. Repeat silently: 'I am the state I seek; I have already entered the land,' imagining a scene where you enjoy the fruit of your goal.
