Departing the Mount Within
Deuteronomy 1:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse tells of God speaking to Israel at Horeb, saying they have stayed on this mountain long enough and should depart to move into the promised land.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the I AM within, Horeb is not a quarry of stones but a state of consciousness you have outgrown. The LORD God spake—your own awareness speaks—inviting you to leave the long dwelling on a mount of limitation. If you seek health, wealth, or right relationship, the command is not to change places but to change your inner weather. The mount is a persistent belief, the mountain is the sense of limitation you have accepted as real. You can depart by a simple act of inner revision: acknowledge that you are not condemned to dwell here, for you are the I AM that creates. Enter now into the land of your imagining, where every promise exists as a finished idea. Live from the end: feel the joy, see the outcome, hear the voice of your fulfilled desire as if it is now. The movement is from identification with lack to alignment with the fulfilled state, and the door is your decisive assumption.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, assume you have departed the mount and entered the land. Feel the feeling of the wish fulfilled now—name it, breathe it, and rehearse a single scene where your goal is already yours.
