Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 29:21-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 29 in context

Scripture Focus

21And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:

22So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;

23And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:

Neville's Inner Vision

Seen through the I AM as consciousness, this text speaks not of distant history but of inner weather. The LORD separating a person unto evil becomes the moment the aware self isolates from its own wholeness through stubborn beliefs. The curses of the covenant are the habitual thoughts that declare you separate, lacking, unworthy—an inner plague that makes the land of your mind barren. When the generation to come or the stranger from afar appears, they are simply new states of consciousness entering the field of awareness through imagination. The land, brimstone and salt, is your inner landscape when fear and judgment corrode perception, a mind that has forgotten its Source. Yet the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah in anger and wrath is not external punishment but an invitation to revise the inner story. You can choose a different causation: that you are the I AM, and your thoughts can seed a new harvest. The moment you refuse the old tale and dwell in the truth that you are already united with the divine, the land becomes fertile and alive again.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume I AM consciousness now, imagining the inner land waking to fertility. Feel it real by revising every gloomy inner line into one of wholeness and renewal.
