Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 29:2-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 29 in context

Scripture Focus

2And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;

3The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:

4Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.

Deuteronomy 29:2-4

Biblical Context

Moses recounts the signs Israel saw, yet notes an inner gap in perception. The message is that true seeing arises from one's inner state of consciousness, not merely from external wonders.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the signs and miracles stood before them, yet the inner instrument—the heart's capacity to perceive—had not been stirred into activity. In Neville’s sense, the visible wonders are not causes of sight but echoes of a state you imagine and inhabit. Perception arises from within, from the I AM you are aware of. When you claim that you are already the consciousness that perceives, feel it real, and continue to dwell in that state, the miraculous becomes ordinary because you are now the agent of seeing. The 'Egypt' and 'Pharaoh' of the past are just recurring patterns; the real revelation comes when you own a new interior fact: I am the I AM perceiving now. The Lord’s withholding is understood as a misalignment between your inner state and your outward experience. Restore alignment by assuming the state of inner sight, and the signs will reflect your revised consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the state of inner sight now—silently declare, I am the I AM perceiving, and feel it real. Then revise the verse in your mind to affirm that your heart is awakened to perceive and hear, and let that reality fill your senses.
