Inner Purity Sacred Alignment
Deuteronomy 17:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Not every animal may be offered; a blemished creature is forbidden. The verse marks such blemish as an abomination and calls worship to be pure and upright.
Neville's Inner Vision
View this verse as a mirror for your inner temple. Blemish is not a creature of bulls and sheep but a belief you carry about yourself—unworthy, flawed, or undeserving of the divine. The command is not asking for outward ceremony, but for inner coherence: the I AM, God, is already perfect, and your state must correspond. When you assume yourself as pure, whole, and beloved, you are not performing a ritual; you are revising your sense of identity. The inner judge you fear—who finds fault and deems you unacceptable—produces a 'blemished' offering, and thus the outer ritual becomes an abomination to your own truth. To worship rightly is to dwell in the awareness that you already stand as the perfect offering. The law invites you to align your belief with your divine nature, not to appease an external deity. Practice: assume the feeling of pristine worth now; see yourself as God sees you, and let that assumption color every moment you bring forth in life.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, and in your own words revise the belief: I am unblemished and beloved by God. Then feel that state as present, letting it color your next action.
