Deuteronomy 28:27-28

Biblical Context

Plainly, the text states the LORD will strike you with bodily illnesses and with madness, blindness, and a shaken heart. It presents the idea that such afflictions come as penalties tied to disobedience.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's reading, the 'LORD' is not an external tyrant but your I AM, your central awareness. The botch of Egypt, emerods, scab, and itch are symbolic images of states you entertain in consciousness—fear, limitation, and misidentification—that manifest as discomfort in body and life. When you identify with these stories, you invite madness, blindness, and astonishment of heart as inner misalignment. These are not punishments from above but the natural consequence of assuming you are separate from your power to imagine. To liberate yourself, return to the truth that you are the I AM, the one who imagines and thus creates. By entering a new state of consciousness—an assumption of healing, clarity, and wholeness—you revise the conditions you experience. The moment you feel I AM health and I AM whole, you displace the old image and draw new conditions into your world. The LORD becomes your inner governor, guiding you back to peace through conscious imagination and steadfast feeling.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume a new state: I AM healthy, clear, and whole now. Hold that feeling for several breaths and return to it whenever fear or pain arises.
