Inner Sanctuary Commandment

Deuteronomy 12:11-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 12 in context

Scripture Focus

11Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:
12And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
Deuteronomy 12:11-12

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.
