Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 17:9-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 17 in context

Scripture Focus

9And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment:

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 17:9-11

Biblical Context

These verses tell you to consult the Levites and the judge, receive the sentence, and act exactly according to the law and the place the Lord will choose. Obedience and faithfulness are the covenant's inner discipline.

Neville's Inner Vision

Turn the page inward and hear the call to consult the priests of your own being and the judge within. The 'sentence of judgment' is not a decree handed to you by a distant statute, but the clear awareness that your present state has decreed what your world will reveal. The place the Lord shall choose is the alignment of your consciousness with your I AM—the decision you settle in attention and feeling as real. Do not stray to the right hand nor to the left; that is, do not waver in your assumption or entertain rival images. When you live in the certainty of the inner decree, your outer circumstances will reflect it, and to resist is to resist your own awakening. This is obedience not to a letter but to your own immediate I AM, the covenant you keep with your own soul. Practice by choosing a scenario you desire and refuse any contradictory image, until the inner decree stands as fact.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner sentence is given and feel it as already done. Then move today from that certainty, refusing any competing image until your world reflects the decree.
