Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 29:25-26 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 29 in context

Scripture Focus

25Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:

26For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:

Deuteronomy 29:25-26

Biblical Context

The text records people turning from the LORD's covenant to worship other, unfamiliar gods. It portrays a shift inward, a drift of the mind toward imagined powers rather than the I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

As I read Deuteronomy 29:25-26, I see the inward tale: I too have forsaken the LORD's covenant when my mind trends to imagined powers and claims of other gods. These gods are not outside figures but inner states I worship, habits of fear, desire, or need for control, gods I know not truly and which have not given themselves to me. Their unknownness reveals my ignorance of my real nature: I have allowed these powers into attention yet have not given myself to the I AM within. The cure is my deliberate recommitment: I assume the finished state of covenant, I dwell in the I AM, and I revise every idol with the awareness that only consciousness creates reality. As I feel the fidelity of the covenant, the other gods fade into the background, and obedience and faithfulness return as my present experience. I am not bound by them; I am yoked to the one true Lord within the I AM, where true worship is revived in imagination and turned into living fact.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, breathe, and assume the felt sense of the I AM as my covenant partner. Repeat a simple revision: I am the I AM; I renew my covenant now, and hold that awareness until idol thoughts dissolve.
