Inner Kadesh: Dwelling And Destiny
Deuteronomy 1:46 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states they stayed in Kadesh for many days, the length of the stay matching how long they had remained there. It signals a prolonged pause in their journey, mirroring an inner stalemate.
Neville's Inner Vision
Deuteronomy 1:46 speaks of dwelling in Kadesh many days as a measure of inner time, not a calendar. In Neville’s lens, Kadesh is a state of consciousness—the desert of limitation in which you linger because you have not shifted your I AM awareness. The length of the stay equals the duration you have consented to a belief opposite to your wish. If fear or doubt holds your attention, your inner clock ticks slowly; by deciding, here and now, that you are the I AM, you revise the image and feel the end as present. Imagination is the instrument; your assumption becomes the air you breathe until the outer world must conform. The exile and return you sense are simply inner movements responding to your conviction. When you stop feeding the old picture and dwell in the fulfilled state, the days shrink and the journey resumes with fresh momentum.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine you are already inhabiting the promised land; feel the emotional state as if it is present now, and stay with that feeling for a few minutes each day. Repeat the revision until your sense of time aligns with the inner state.
