Claim Your Inner Mountain
Deuteronomy 1:20-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
This passage places you before a promised land and invites action. It teaches that possession begins in inner conviction, not in outward steps.
Neville's Inner Vision
To me, the 'mountain of the Amorites' is a symbol of any stubborn belief blocking your good. When Deuteronomy speaks, 'Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee,' it points to a present arrangement of consciousness: the land is already set in your I AM—your awakened awareness. To 'go up and possess it' is to assume the feeling of ownership now, not to seek it later. Fear not, nor be discouraged, for the promise is an inner arrangement, not a distant event. The 'land' is your birthright, a state of peace, health, or opportunity that you already inhabit in imagination. So long as you identify with lack, you climb the mountain with a heavy heart; when you rest in the truth that the land is yours, you travel it with confidence. Your task is inner revision: imagine the state, feel it real, and dwell there until it becomes outward fact. The covenant loyalty called for is fidelity to this inner fact. Do this, and the outer mountains transform into the landscapes of your inward kingdom.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, stand on the mountain of your chosen good in imagination, and feel it as already accomplished. Then declare, 'I possess it now,' letting the feeling of completion dissolve fear.
