Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 1:6-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 1 in context

Scripture Focus

6The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:

7Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.

8Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.

Deuteronomy 1:6-8

Biblical Context

God speaks at Horeb, telling the people to leave the mount and journey toward the land promised to their ancestors, a call to move from fixed faith to active possession of a new state of life.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this inward speech, the Horeb of your present consciousness becomes the fixed image you must depart. The command to turn and journey invites you to shift attention from habit to creative imagination. The land before you is your inner kingdom, a state your I AM has pledged to grant; its boundaries map not geography but your possible experiences. The reference to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob echoes your own line of consciousness, the lineage of memory now ready for renewal. God’s invitation to enter and possess is not external coercion but a covenant of your mind: when you assume and feel as though you already inhabit the land, Providence proves itself in your life. The journey is an inward ascent, and possession is the felt-realization that the divine promise has taken form as your present experience.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, revisit Horeb in imagination, then revise your stance with the feeling of the I AM moving you forward. See the land appear as your now, and dwell in the certainty that you possess it.
