Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 1:9-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 1 in context

Scripture Focus

9And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:

10The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

11(The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)

12How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?

13Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.

14And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.

15So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.

16And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.

17Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.

18And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.

Deuteronomy 1:9-18

Biblical Context

Moses appoints wise leaders to judge fairly and impartially, hearing every person and the stranger; the judgment is God's, and hard matters are brought to Moses for resolution. He commands them to act with righteousness in all things.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your I AM, Deuteronomy 1:9-18 becomes a blueprint for inner governance. The multiplying of you into stars signals your faculties awakening to abundance; the burden you bear is the old self resisting inner rule. Invite the wise, the understanding, and the known as inner rulers over your thoughts, feelings, and choices. When you hear the inner causes and the stranger within, practice true justice by judging without favoritism, listening to every impulse, small and great. Remember the judgment is God—your own divine awareness—so fear of the outer face dissolves. The command to do these things is the call to align your inner state with order and accountability. The external law mirrors your inner law; rewrite it through revision and a steadfast faith in your inner governance. Bring your hard cases to the inner tribunal, and you will discover the resolution already present within your consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and picture a council of inner wise ones presiding over your thoughts. Assume they have authority now; declare, 'I appoint the I AM to rule this situation,' and feel the burden dissolve into clear, impartial judgment.
