Whispers of the Inner Covenant

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard lens, this passage is not about distant nations but the state of your own consciousness. The warning against turning to other gods is really a warning against abandoning the I AM within you for the counterfeit powers of lesser beliefs. The root that bears gall and wormwood is a mental habit—resentment, fear, and the self-blinding idea that you must protect yourself apart from God. When you hear the 'curse' and bless yourself in your heart by saying, 'I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart,' you reveal the universal law: you prosper in the realm of your beliefs only when you remain loyal to the One Presence. The anger and jealousy spoken of in the text are not the deity's wrath but the storm of consciousness that arises when you resist the truth of your own I AM. Imagination shapes reality; thus, to dwell in a belief of separation is to invite suffering. Re-align with your inner Lord, and the imagined curses dissolve as you own the power of awareness. In that shift, the covenant is renewed not by external commands but by your steadfast recognition of I AM as the sole reality you inhabit.
