Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 10:12-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 10 in context

Scripture Focus

12And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

13To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?

14Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.

15Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.

Deuteronomy 10:12-15

Biblical Context

Deuteronomy 10:12–15 presents God’s requirement as inner posture: reverence, walking in His ways, loving and serving with all your heart, and keeping His inner laws. It declares that the whole inner universe belongs to God and that your own consciousness is chosen to express Him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the LORD as the I AM within you, the awareness that awakens every thought and feeling. When the verse asks you to fear Him, to walk in all His ways, to love and to serve with all your heart and soul, understand that these are not external demands but your inner alignment with divine order. To keep the commandments is to remain faithful to the pattern of your own being—the inner laws that govern your gladness, health, and success. The heaven and the heaven of heavens and the earth are the Lord's; in truth, all are states of consciousness within your I AM. The delight in thy fathers and the seed refers to your inner lineage of noble ideas, now ready to express through you above all others as this day unfolds. Your present sense of self is the chosen vessel, invited to reveal God’s nature in form. Do not seek blessing; realize you already are blessed by standing as the I AM, in constant alignment, reverence, and steadfast love.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the I AM; I reverence, walk in God’s ways, love, and serve with all my heart and soul, keeping His commandments within me.' Revise any sense of separation and feel-it-real as this inner state now.
