Inner Battlement of Mind

Deuteronomy 22:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 22 in context

Scripture Focus

8When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.
Deuteronomy 22:8

Biblical Context

Deuteronomy 22:8 instructs building a battlement on the roof of a new house to prevent accidents that would shed blood within the house. It frames safety as a moral duty to protect life and maintain integrity in the dwelling.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of a house not built of brick but of consciousness. When the page of a new life is written, the roof is the surface of your mind where impressions may fall. The battlement you are to build is not a wall against others, but a discipline in awareness that prevents careless thoughts and impulses from spilling into your world. Blood upon the house signifies guilt, misfortune, or harm that arises when you allow a stray image or fear to spill into experience. By this command, you are reminded that your inner state governs outer conditions. In Neville’s truth, you are not a victim of circumstance but the I AM behind every sensation; you choose to imagine defensible limits and to revise any thought that would create injury. The act of constructing the battlement aligns your attention with higher order, converting duty into loving boundary. As you dwell in this present act, your new consciousness will not shed others pain, but instead yield a life where safety, justice, and neighborly care radiate from within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and envision a radiant battlement sealing the roof of your mind; affirm I guard my thoughts and actions so no harm can come to my house and feel the safety in the boundary.
