Inner Holiness and Abundance
Deuteronomy 14:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Deuteronomy 14:21 forbids consuming what dies of itself, commands giving it to the stranger, allows selling to the alien, proclaims you a holy people, and prohibits seething a kid in its mother's milk.
Neville's Inner Vision
To read this as mere dietary law misses the living truth: every 'food' here is a movement of consciousness. What dies within you are old habits and unexamined beliefs; releasing them to the stranger at your gates invites the unknown aspects of your self to enter your field of awareness. In choosing to feed nothing that has died, you preserve the holiness of your inner state—the I AM you are awakening. The prohibition against seething a kid in its mother's milk speaks to not exploiting young, tender impulses by cold, mechanical mixing; true nourishment requires reverence for beginnings and for the life within change. The instruction becomes a discipline of mental diet and hospitality: keep your inner gate open to the stranger, share your inner sustenance, and remain holy by aligning attention with the I AM. holiness is a state of consciousness you continually choose, not merely a rule observed.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine a hungry stranger at your gate. In your imagination, give him the food you would hoard, affirming, I am holy, I AM, and feel the abundance flowing through you as you release the old to welcome the new.
