Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 15:9-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 15 in context

Scripture Focus

9Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.

10Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.

Deuteronomy 15:9-10

Biblical Context

Beware the withholding heart and the thought that release is near; instead, give to your neighbor. When you give with a cheerful heart and no grief, the Lord blesses all your endeavors.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the seeker, this command reveals that the 'wicked heart' is a mental posture, a sense of lack that clutches the purse and labels the other as separate from your supply. When you entertain the thought, 'I must withhold because release is near,' you tighten your world and dim your light. But the law of consciousness is generous: give with ease, and do not allow grief to cling to the act. In the moment you release, you acknowledge the one Presence within you—your own I AM—flowing as abundance into every corner of your life. The blessing is not earned by duty but invited by the state from which you give; 'the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works' becomes the condition of your imagination. See yourself as a conduit through which life circulates: when you give, you dissolve scarcity and awaken greater capacity in all you undertake. Practice this now by assuming you are the generous you, and let your steps be guided by the feeling of plenitude, not fear.
