Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 19:9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 19 in context

Scripture Focus

9If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:

Deuteronomy 19:9

Biblical Context

The plain sense is that keeping the commandments, loving God, and walking in His ways leads to an expanded inner domain or 'cities' of awareness. The blessing is the expansion of your inner life, not merely external geography.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville’s frame, the commandments are not external laws but inner calibrations of your consciousness. To love the LORD thy God is to center your awareness in the living Presence within; to walk ever in His ways is to persist in imagining from that divine stillness. When you keep these inner commandments, you enlarge your inner cities—the occupied states of awareness that offer refuge and direction in imagination. The three cities you add are not places on a map but new centers of perception, capacity, and security you entertain in mind. Obedience becomes fidelity to your inner revelation rather than compliance to outward rules. Your inner kingdom grows as you dwell in the conviction that God is within, that your I AM can guide every choice. The 'commandments' thus become inner laws of attitude and attention, producing outward blessings as you refuse to abandon the awareness that never leaves.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit in quiet and assume you already possess three additional inner cities. Feel the love of God guiding you as you walk in His ways, and sense your inner landscape expanding and becoming safe.
