Inner Purity, Outer Judgment

Deuteronomy 22:20-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 22 in context

Scripture Focus

20But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
21Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
Deuteronomy 22:20-21

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.
