Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 22:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 22 in context

Scripture Focus

6If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:

7But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.

Deuteronomy 22:6-7

Biblical Context

The verse teaches not to take the mother bird with her young; instead, release her so the young may thrive. This act of mercy is framed as a discipline that fosters well-being and longer life.

Neville's Inner Vision

All you see in the outer world is a wakeful image of your inner state. When the nest appears in your path, the dam stands for your attachment to a life that seeks to bear fruit; to seize the young is to interrupt that life, to release the dam is to trust the I AM that sustains all. The command to let go so that it may be well with you and lengthen your days becomes a law of consciousness: mercy toward life equals your own empowerment. As you honor the life that would be, you awaken a current of grace that supports your prosperity. Envision yourself as the I AM, free from mere appetite, choosing the merciful act within you, and notice how a quiet vitality rises, inviting circumstances to harmonize with your highest good. The more you dwell in that mercy, the more your days lengthen in peace and vitality, because you are aligning with the flow of life rather than clinging to it.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: In a moment of decision, close your eyes and imagine you are the I AM tending the nest in your own consciousness; silently revise, 'I let the dam go; I take the young as life itself moves forward,' and feel the reality of mercy expanding your days.
