Inner Covenant Of Ear
Deuteronomy 15:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Verse 15:17 commands piercing the ear with an awl at the door as a sign that a servant (and maidservant) shall serve forever. It frames loyalty and obedience as a covenantal, unending commitment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your eye may fix on a rite of piercing, but the invitation is to an inner agreement. The ear stands for receptivity, what you hear and allow into your sense of self. The door marks the boundary where your mind yields to an inner authority, the I AM that you truly are. The awl is not violence but a symbolic tool that pierces away a stubborn ego and opens you to a deeper listening. When you accept this I AM as master, the servant forever becomes a steadfast state of obedience to divine law rather than to any person. The maidservant mirrors the receptive principle within you, consecrated to the same inner covenant. Thus the rite points to a permanent alignment: you choose to live from awareness, letting the I AM direct your thoughts, feelings, and actions. As you persist in this assumption, you awaken to impressions that reflect a consistent, loyal consciousness. Your world begins to bend to the covenant you hold in awareness, and you experience a steadier sense of freedom that flows from obedience to your true self.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and imagine a door at the center of your being. State I am the servant of the I AM and feel that vow enter your awareness as a living truth now.
