Two Paths, One Yoke
Deuteronomy 22:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Deuteronomy 22:10 forbids pairing an ox and a donkey; spiritually, it speaks of keeping inner faculties from forced, incompatible yokings. It invites you to align your desires and actions under one conscious order—the I AM—so work proceeds with clarity.
Neville's Inner Vision
Deuteronomy 22:10 invites us to notice the subtle inner law: do not yoke the two disparate natures of your mind and feeling and call them one team. In Neville's language, the ox and the donkey are two states of consciousness—steadfast intention and restless impulse—sharing the same field yet never aligned in their core nature. When you attempt to drive with them as one, friction arises, and you blame yourself for not obeying the command. The truth is not guilt but a revelation: there is a single I AM, and all faculties must be yoked to its purpose. By imagining that you already possess the unity you seek, you dissolve the inner division. Your inner world becomes a single strong field where thoughts and feelings travel together toward a definite end. If you feel conflict, revise your self-conception to the I AM that knows itself as the conductor, not the horses. In that stance, the external world shifts to mirror your inner order, and obedience becomes effortless, not forced.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM is yoked to every faculty. Picture the ox and donkey pulling as one, and feel the unity.
