Open Hands, Inner Abundance
Deuteronomy 15:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse acknowledges ongoing need and commands you to open your hand wide to your brother, the poor, and the needy in your land. Generosity is presented as a duty tied to stewardship of the land.
Neville's Inner Vision
To read Deuteronomy 15:11 through Neville's lens, poverty is a state of mind, not a fixed fate. God is I AM, and the land is the field of awareness on which images take shape. When I open my hand wide to the brother—the part of me that feels lack—I am not paying a debt to another; I am reauthorizing my imagination. The act of giving becomes a deliberate movement of consciousness, a revision of the belief that scarcity rules my life. As I imagine and feel myself already abundant, the inner poor dissolves and fullness returns. The other represents my inner self asking to be supplied with mercy and dignity. By stewarding this inner wealth, I align my daily acts with the truth that I am the source of all supply. Poverty endures only where imagination denies abundance; open-handed generosity is the practice that awakens the abundance I am.
Practice This Now
Assume the state of already having plenty and visualize giving to the inner needy; feel the relief and abundance returning to you as you breathe.
