Inner Purity, Outer Judgment
Deuteronomy 22:20-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plain sense: If the tokens of virginity are not found, the damsel is taken to the door of her father's house and stoned by the city to put evil away from among you.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, the surface law is but a reflection of inner states. When the tokens of virginity cannot be proven, the text shows the mind's urge to punish exposure rather than heal perception. In Neville's mode, the 'damsel' represents your own state of innocence, and the city’s stoning represents the inner verdict of guilt you impose when you doubt your unity with God. The truth you seek is that you are I AM, consciousness imagining itself into form; judgments about purity or danger arise only as you believe in separation. Therefore, revise the scene by assuming the feeling of complete innocence now; imagine the outer world responding to your inner clarity. Feel the reality of your wholeness, and let every thought that tells you otherwise dissolve. The evil spoken of in the text vanishes as you persist in the conviction that you are always intact, not under the shadow of punishment, but in the radiant light of consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, assume the I AM as your consciousness and revise the scene: I am the pure, innocent state here and now. Feel that truth flood your being until the sense of judgment dissolves.
