Innocent Blood, Inner Inheritance
Deuteronomy 19:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Deuteronomy 19:10 warns you not to shed innocent blood in the land the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance; shedding it brings guilt upon you.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville’s psychology, the land you inhabit is your inner state of consciousness; your actions unfold there. 'Innocent blood' names the life-force, the vitality that flows when you are in alignment, not in fear or judgment. 'Blood shed' signals the violence of a thought that harms yourself or another by condemning or attacking. The commandment to keep the land free of such guilt is a call to covenant loyalty with your own I AM, the living God within. When you sense guilt, you are not distant from the land; you are in a state that believes in separation from blessing. To avoid 'blood guilt,' you must choose a larger self—an assumption that cannot be shaken by error. This is not about external law so much as about aligning imagination with holiness: to imagine yourself as the owner of the land and to refuse any thought that stains it. Practice revision by declaring innocence now and inviting in compassion, justice, and peace as the texture of your days. Your inheritance is the vivid, untroubled awareness that nothing can invade your inner state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe, and declare, I am innocent in this moment, and I own the land of my awareness. Visualize walking a clear, bright plain within your mind and feel guilt melt as you claim your inheritance.
