Read Deuteronomy 22 in context

Scripture Focus

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 22:7

Biblical Context

The verse commands letting the dam go and taking the young. It implies mercy toward life yields well-being and longer days.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the inward ear, this law speaks not of beasts but of your inner weather. The dam is the old attachment that damns energy; it must be let go. Take the young to thee—nurture a new image, a fresh possibility you consciously carry in awareness. When you do this, you align with the Law of Assumption: what you hold as real in your mind becomes your real life. Mercy here is not pity but a state of consciousness that forgives resistance, releases the need to control outcomes, and invites vitality. By letting the dam fall and embracing the young, you declare, I AM life free to move as it will. Then the inner currents settle, and your days seem to extend because you are no longer opposing the stream with doubt. The command to let go and to nurture the new is the same command from God within, the I AM, to move you toward a state of consciousness where life appears to lengthen because you are not blocking it with old reflexes.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, release the old attachment as a dam opening, and invite a new image you desire; dwell in the feeling that I AM is moving you toward well-being and longer days. Let the feeling of mercy fill you as you accept the arising good.
