Inner Boundaries, Sacred Self
Deuteronomy 27:20-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 27 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage lists curses on specific sexual acts and has the people say Amen. It functions as a boundary-setting code that outlines what the community will not tolerate.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the awakened mind, Deuteronomy 27:20-23 is not a record of judgments upon others, but a map of inner states. The 'curse' is a label your own consciousness assigns to any movement away from alignment with I AM. The description of lying with one’s father's wife, with beasts, or with relatives becomes symbolic of clinging to old identities, animal urges, or distorted relation to your own being. When you uncover the father's skirt, you are exposing inherited scripts that cover your true power; when you set yourself to lie with a sister or mother-in-law, you reveal the inner divisions that split the self and fragment authority. The people’s Amen echoes the law of your own heart: you acknowledge the consequence of thinking in separation. Yet the text offers no final verdict outside your own imagination. The only judgment that matters is the state of consciousness you inhabit. When you refuse to identify with those stories and return to I AM, the 'curses' lose their power, and the outer world begins to reorganize itself to match your renewed inner order. You are the creator, not the condemned.
Practice This Now
Assume the state 'I AM' as your one reality and revise memories of separation; feel the truth of your wholeness, and imagine the old curses dissolving as you align with the sacred self.
