Inner Sanctuary Commandment
Deuteronomy 12:11-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God designates a place where His name will dwell and commands the people to bring offerings and vows there; they are to rejoice before the Lord with their households and the Levite within their gates.
Neville's Inner Vision
See the 'place' the text names as the state of your own consciousness where the I AM chooses to dwell. The 'name' becoming present is not a distant temple but the realization that awareness itself is God. When you imagine your life in accord with the law of this dwelling, you are bringing offerings, tithes, and vows into the sanctuary of your mind—attention, gratitude, and steady fidelity to the wish fulfilled. The offerings are your thoughts; the tithes are your time and energy given to the truth you seek; the vows are the promises you keep to remain faithful to the inner decree. The Levite within your gates, who has no inheritance apart from this dwelling, represents the marginalized parts of self that belong in the inner temple as much as the celebrated self. Rejoicing before the Lord is the inner acknowledgment that the I AM is present now; your outer life follows the alignment of this truth. With this inner sanctuary established, the outer scene shifts to reflect the abundance of that dwelling.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and assume, 'I am the dwelling place of God now.' Feel the presence, offer gratitude, and live as if this inner temple determines your outer experience.
