Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 11:6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 11 in context

Scripture Focus

6And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:

Deuteronomy 11:6

Biblical Context

Plainly, the verse narrates God’s response to rebellion, swallowing Dathan, Abiram, and their households in the center of Israel. It signals that defiance has consequences and is met with divine boundary.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within my awareness, Dathan and Abiram are not distant men; they are rebellious thoughts within your own consciousness. The earth opening her mouth is the subconscious surrender of those thoughts when you refuse to identify with them. Their households, tents, and all possessions symbolize the entire structure you have built on fear and resistance. As the earth swallows them in the midst of Israel, so the inner soil dissolves every claim of separation that has held your life in bondage. When you notice the impulse to rebel against your higher self, it can be dissolved by the simple act of turning toward the I AM—the one living awareness you are. The judgment described is not punishment but the natural consequence of waking from a lie to live as truth. Your whole world shifts as you align with the I AM and allow the old self to be consumed by the earth of your subconscious, leaving behind a consciousness ready to enter the promised land of inner peace and purpose.

Practice This Now

Imaginatively, in a moment of stillness, close your eyes and assume the state: 'I am the I AM; I swallow all rebellious thoughts in the earth of my subconscious.' Watch as the image of resistance dissolves and your life reorganizes around obedience to the I AM.
