Stone Altar of Awareness
Deuteronomy 27:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 27 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Deuteronomy 27:5 instructs building an altar to the LORD with stones, without lifting iron tools upon it.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner vision, the altar is your fixed state of consciousness; the stones are natural, unworked conditions—peace, gratitude, faith. The iron tool represents thought-forms of control, arguments, or cleverness you would use to bend God to your plan. By choosing to lay the stone altar and lifting no iron upon it, you declare that true worship is alignment with the I AM, not manipulation of outcomes. Obedience and faithfulness become the continuous posture of awareness; separation is not distance but steady focus, a refusal to mix egoic machinery with sacred space. When you imagine yourself as the builder, you permit the inner law of assumption to give form to your life: states precede events, and the world follows from your inner belief. The altar remains, untouched by iron; your life emerges as the natural expression of that pure devotion. Remember: God is not out there to be forced, but within you, waking as awareness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine an altar of stones within you; remove any iron tool from it, and affirm, 'I am the I AM; I build from pure awareness.' Then dwell in the quiet proof of that state.
