Inner Boundaries, Sacred Self

Deuteronomy 27:20-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 27 in context

Scripture Focus

20Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.
21Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.
22Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
23Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Deuteronomy 27:20-23

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.
