Fringes of Inner Covenant
Deuteronomy 22:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Deuteronomy 22:12 directs fringes on the four corners of your garment as a constant reminder of the commandments. It ties holiness to everyday dress and mindful loyalty.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the speak of Moses lies a key to your inner weather: the garment is your life, and the fringes are the points of attention you choose to keep alive. The commandment is not an external rule but a state of consciousness you agree to affirm. When you acknowledge the four corners—your thoughts, your feelings, your choices, your acts—you create a lattice of awareness that keeps you oriented to the I AM that you truly are. The I AM is not outside you; it is the steady glow by which you observe all shifting appearances. By imagining tassels on the corners, you ritualize the habit of returning to that center whenever you are tempted to drift. Each fringe is a symbol that you are under a covenant of loyalty to truth, not to fear or lack. This practice re-frames every circumstance as a reminder: your inner kingdom is intact whenever you assume it; you revise your state until the world reflects that divine order back to you.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and picture tassels at the four corners of your mental garment, each tassel pulsing with a remembered command to 'I AM'. As you breathe, revise any sense of limitation by affirming 'I AM conscious of my covenant' and feel that state as real.
