Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 28:34-35 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 28 in context

Scripture Focus

34So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

35The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.

Deuteronomy 28:34-35

Biblical Context

It describes a harsh, visible judgment arising from disobedience, and a bodily sore as a consequence of breaking covenant. Neville would read these as inward states reflected outwardly, inviting you to revise your self-concept.

Neville's Inner Vision

See the passage as a map of your inner weather. The 'madness for the sight of thine eyes' is the mind clinging to an old image of self, the I AM misled by a picture of separation. The 'sore botch' from head to foot is not a curse but the alarm of a mind wearing a worn-out belief. In Neville's method, the cure lies in turning attention to consciousness rather than to circumstance; you heal by assuming a new state and feeling it real. Begin now: declare I AM health, imagine the body bathed in light, and watch the old image dissolve. As you persist, the outer form will mirror the inner revision, and the sense of judgment will soften into clarity.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, place a hand on your chest, and feel it real that you are already whole. Imagine the sore dissolving as vitality flows upward, from feet to crown.
