Inner Diet of Holiness
Deuteronomy 14:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Deuteronomy 14:3 commands not eating abominable things; read as an inner directive to guard the mind’s nourishment and maintain purity of the I AM.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the 'abominable thing' is any belief or image that defiles your I AM. Your imagination is the table of nourishment; what you feed it becomes your reality. When you dwell on fear, doubt, or guilt, you are consuming abominations; when you dwell in divine possibilities, you feed on holiness. The outer world mirrors the quality of your inner diet. The command invites you to govern not the external menu but the inner menu of consciousness: renounce anything that undermines your sense of I AM and assume the truth of wholeness as your daily bread. Practice is not denial but renewal: assume the state of fullness, feel it as real, and let your actions express that purity. The diet becomes a discipline of imagination, and your inner appetite guides you toward reality-as-consciousness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and affirm: I AM fed by the pure food of God; refuse any thought that defiles my state. In the next moment, imagine tasting a luminous, clean nourishment that harmonizes with I AM.
