Inner Adjudication and Innocence
Deuteronomy 21:5-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage shows a ritual where priests minister and elders declare innocence by washing their hands, cleansing the aftermath of a killing from communal memory. In plain sense, it establishes a public procedure to separate responsibility from inner state.
Neville's Inner Vision
Verse 5-7 is showing you the inner court of your mind where an incident in consciousness is settled by your higher self. The priests, the sons of Levi, are the sacred ministers who harken to the voice that blesses in the name of the LORD; they speak the truth of your inner law. The elders of the city, the gathered dispositions near the slain belief, wash their hands over the heifer to signify releasing guilt from the mind’s theater. They say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it, which is a declaration that your awareness does not partake in the dream of harm. In Neville terms you must not identify with the senseless event; you judge it in your own consciousness and separate the act from the state that perceives it. The moment you accept that your I AM is the only reality, you bless the mind by declaring innocence and letting the old belief die in the valley of your attention. Your present feeling can be: I am free of the dream of guilt; my awareness stands untouched.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, picture the inner priests blessing your mind. Speak the thought My hands are clean; I am innocence itself, and feel the truth settle into your being.
