Twelve Inner Scouts of Faith

Deuteronomy 1:23-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 1 in context

Scripture Focus

23And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
24And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
Deuteronomy 1:23-24

Biblical Context

Moses recounts that he chose twelve men from among the people to scout the land, and they ascended the mountain then went to the valley of Eshcol to search it.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line, the twelve spies are twelve states of consciousness you carry within. The saying pleased me well signals your I AM’s consent to an inward act of creation. To select a tribe’s representative is to appoint twelve faculties—perception, faith, discernment, courage, hope, patience, gratitude, clarity, obedience, persistence, love, and vision—each ascending the inner mountain of imagination. The mountain is your central point of awareness; the valley of Eshcol is the field of life you intend to claim in experience. When they searched it out, you perform an inner inspection: you test a belief, sample a scenario, verify the conditions of your desired state. Their report reflects your present inner orientation: if fear dominates, you descend; if you remain assured that the land already exists in consciousness, you rise with confidence and declare it so. The lesson is not geography but the act of assuming the end. You are the I AM; the dispatch of the twelve is an act of devotion, not of doubt. Let your inner scouts return with evidence of abundance, and revise until your report aligns with your irrevocable oneness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare that you have appointed twelve inner states to survey your inner land. See them ascend the inner mountain, return with a confident report, and revise any sense of lack until you feel it real.
