Inner Israel: Abominations Revisited
Deuteronomy 17:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Verse 17:4 says that if you hear of an abomination in Israel and inquire diligently, and the report proves true, the thing is declared an abomination. The deeper teaching is a call to discern and face the reality of inner life.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the outer text speaks of an abomination found in Israel, but in Neville's kingdom of consciousness, the 'Israel' that matters is your inner state. The report of an abomination is not a law crushing you from without; it is a signal that a fearful or false image has taken root in your mind. You are invited to inquire diligently—watch the thought, feel the impulse, trace its source—until you see that the 'abomination' has no independent reality outside your present state. When you acknowledge it and yet insist that you are the I AM, you begin to reverse the current. Imagination creates reality; so you revise the scene by assuming a higher idea of yourself. Replace the image of separation with unity; replace guilt with holiness; replace judgment with the firm conviction that you are already what you seek. The verse does not punish; it calls you to awaken to your true worship—the alignment of consciousness with the eternal I AM—where what you condemn dissolves as you affirm what you affirm.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are already the I AM. In your inner theater, revise the scene by imagining a purified inner state—holiness, unity, and freedom from the fear of separation—felt as real now.
