Neville's Inner Vision

To interpret Deuteronomy 27:15 through Neville Goddard is to see the 'curse' as the natural consequence of residing in images that pretend to define you. Idols are not only metal or wood; they are mental pictures you hold about yourself and your world as if they were separate from the I AM within. When you believe you are defined by form, you contract your life to fit that picture and you lose the sense of living unity. The LORD within—the I AM—remains undiminished, but no image can contain It. The admonition counsels you to stop worshiping a counterfeit craft of belief and to awaken to the indivisible presence of God in you. By choosing to revise your inner image, you release the so-called curse and return to the reality of consciousness. Your true worship is self-knowledge, the recognition that you are the image of God, now and here.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and, in the fullness of stillness, affirm 'I AM the image of God' and feel that reality as your own. Then revise any belief in separation by dwelling in that unity until it feels real.
