Moses’ Ark Within: Inner Law
Deuteronomy 10:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Moses descends from the mountain and places the tablets in the ark, obeying the command so the law rests within the sanctuary. The act signifies covenant loyalty made real in inner life.
Neville's Inner Vision
On Deuteronomy 10:5 I hear the voice of the I AM instructing you to descend from the height of outward concern and invite the law into the sanctuary of your heart. The ark is not a box of wood but your inner state of awareness where fixed truths live. The tablets are the immutable commandments written upon your consciousness by the life within; to place them in the ark is to stop scattering your decisions to the winds of fear and desire and to anchor them in the one center that never changes. When you turn down the mountain and consign the law to the ark, you are covenanting with your own steadiness, with the LORD that you KNOW as I AM. The visible world then becomes only the vessel through which those inner laws operate, guiding choices, loyalties, and behavior. The act is internal, a revision of your sense of self from spectator to keeper; it is faithfulness to a true covenant: that you live by what you already are.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume you have placed the inner commandments in the ark of your awareness; feel the weight and protection of that ark as you make your next decision. Revise any doubt by affirming, 'I keep these laws within me because I am the I AM.'
