Inner Discernment Against Seduction
Deuteronomy 13:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Deuteronomy 13:8 commands you to refuse all consent, listening, pity, sparing, or concealment of a seducer. It establishes a strict boundary against influences that would lead you astray from obedience.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, the word speaks to your inner court. When the 'him' comes as a tempting image—a lure to bow to another god or to abandon the path—you must refuse to consent, to listen, or to pity. In your inner world, to spare, conceal, or overlook is to give energy to the illusion; to do so is to allow a scene to persist in your dream of life. But you are not a passive witness; you are the I AM, the self-aware presence that births all experience. The true 'God' within stands in judgment over every projection, and by your decisive rejection you cut off the source of the dream. The closing of your eyes to the image is not cruelty, but clarity; it is waking from sleep. When you firmly say, 'I do not consent to that thought; I do not listen to that image; I AM the sole ruler of my inner world,' you seal the boundary and watch the image dissolve, returning you to the one real state: the consciousness of I AM.
Practice This Now
Assume the role of the watcher and declare, I AM; I do not consent to that image. Then revise by turning away from the temptation and feeling the reality of God as your true self.
