Inner Court of Truth
Deuteronomy 19:16-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Two parties are brought before the divine court to verify testimony; if the witness lies, the community removes the evil and preserves justice. It emphasizes accountability and truth within the law.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this text, the 'false witness' is not a mere outsider's accusation but a misbelief harbored in your own mind about another or life. The LORD is your I AM, the witnessing presence asking, What is true in this moment? The two parties before the LORD symbolize the disciplined aspects of your mind—conscience and discernment—gathered to examine what you have accepted as real. The 'diligent inquiry' is your daily practice of questioning thoughts until you separate truth from projection. If your inner witness finds that a belief about another is false, you do not retaliate; you revise your mind and withdraw the misperception, for to judge another is to judge your own state of consciousness. By removing the false witness from your inner atmosphere, you 'put away the evil from among you,' and the field clears for the true nature of reality to reveal itself. The whole law is accountability to your own sense of truth: imagination creates what you live, so correct the inner testimony and your world aligns with truth.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and enter the inner court of your I AM; revise a judgment about someone by declaring, 'From this moment I choose truth.' Then feel the truth as real in your heart.
