Dwell In Freedom Within
Deuteronomy 23:15-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage forbids delivering a runaway servant back to his master; instead, he is to dwell among you wherever he chooses, and you must not oppress him.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider the escaped servant as a liberated state within my consciousness, not a person external to me. The master is the old belief that I am bound by limitation. When I refuse to deliver that state back to bondage, I enact mercy on the inner plane and invite freedom to take up residence in a gate I designate in my mind. The gate is a determined point of attention where this liberty can live unoppressed. Do not oppress him—do not crowd him with guilt or fear; simply acknowledge and honor the presence of freedom. The inner sanctuary becomes the quiet, persistent I AM that witnesses and sustains this state. By choosing to dwell with the liberated state at a chosen gate, I demonstrate that liberation is not an external event but a condition of consciousness already present. In this practice, the apparent outside change follows the inward recognition: I am free, and my life becomes a reflection of that mercy.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, picture a gate in your mind and invite the escaped servant—the freed state—to dwell there. Repeat, 'I choose to dwell with this freedom,' and feel the reality of liberation now.
