Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 21:14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 21 in context

Scripture Focus

14And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.

Deuteronomy 21:14

Biblical Context

Deuteronomy 21:14 states that if you have no delight in her, you must let her go and not sell her, for you have humbled her.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the humbling of another is but a state of consciousness you tolerate toward any portion of your life you call separate or lesser. When you judge someone as merchandise or as a possession, you have sold your own power to fear. The commandment’s truth is not a historical reprimand but a reminder: treat no aspect of life as something to be traded. The power that humbles can awaken when you choose a new premise with the I AM—the awareness that you are the only reality you experience. If you have no delight in a circumstance, you can revise it inwardly and let it go, simply refusing to own the limit it sets. Imagine the other not as property but as a fellow expression of your own consciousness, and feel the feeling of liberty ripple through your being. In this way, deliverance arrives not by forcing change in the outer, but by closing the door on the belief that life is for sale. Your inner state becomes the law you live by, and liberation follows.
