Inner Passover Practice
Deuteronomy 16:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God commands the Passover sacrifice to be offered to the Lord your God at the place the Lord will choose. This anchors worship to a designated place, underscoring covenant loyalty and the presence of God.
Neville's Inner Vision
Deuteronomy 16:2 beckons you to bring the Passover into the sanctuary of your being. In this Neville-inspired reading, the place the Lord chooses to place His name is not a map on earth but the inner state of I AM awareness. The flock and the herd symbolize your impulses and senses; the Passover is the conscious passing over of fear, scarcity, and separation by fixing attention on the one presence within. True worship happens when you settle in the mind that recognizes itself as God, and centralized worship occurs when you make that inner temple your habitual reference point. When you assume that the Lord has already chosen this inner sanctuary, you align your present experience with your desired consciousness, dissolving the illusion of distance. The law and commandments become not external demands but turning directions of your own will to the I AM. Your covenant loyalty is simply fidelity to the awareness that you are God-in-man, expressing in every moment.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In meditation, assume the inner sanctuary exists within you and declare, 'The Lord has chosen this place in me.' Feel the presence of I AM and revise any lingering separation by affirming, 'I am one with God here and now.'
