Inner Exile, Divine Return
Deuteronomy 29:27-28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 29 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses describe divine anger casting the land into exile, enforcing curses and moving the people to another land.
Neville's Inner Vision
The land is your state of consciousness; the anger described is the magnetic charge of a stiff belief you hold within. The curses are the limits you have accepted as real, the patterns you repeat. When you are rooted out and cast into another land, you are not being punished by a distant God but invited into a new inner territory. In Neville's language, God is the I AM—the ever-present awareness that can express itself in any mood or form. The moment you recognize this, you can revise the premise by assuming the new state as already true. Feel the feeling of property, wholeness, and belonging in the new land, and let that feeling drive the inner shift. The outer conditions may appear to linger, yet they are only the outward sign of an inner reorientation. The rhetoric of wrath becomes the signal of resistance loosening, a cue to turn within and affirm the self as complete. Through imagination and the assumption of the desired state, the land you fear as exile becomes the home you consciously inhabit in the I AM.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, I AM the land and I dwell in the state I choose; revise the belief of exile to 'I am now back in my rightful land, and I feel it real.'
