Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 17:10-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 17 in context

Scripture Focus

10And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:

11According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.

Deuteronomy 17:10-11

Biblical Context

The verse commands you to follow the sentence and law taught by the LORD through the chosen place. Do not turn to the right or left, but observe and do all that is taught.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the verse as the inner court where the I AM sits as judge. The 'sentence' they teach is the inner law your consciousness accepts as true. The LORD choosing a place models the moment you settle within a single inner authority; then outward diversity of belief rescinds. You are not ruled by external decrees, but by the inner sentence you assent to as already true. When you hear 'the law they teach,' revise your state to align with that truth, and feel the reality as if it is now done. The right hand and left movement symbolize wandering thoughts; you maintain focus by choosing one inner verdict and ruling there with unwavering faith. Your present experience unfolds to reflect the inner decree: the outer life becomes the expression of the inner conviction you have assumed. Remember, the I AM is not a distant judge but your own awareness; to imagine is to decree, and so your life answers your innermost verdict.
