Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 30:9-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 30 in context

Scripture Focus

9And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

10If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

11For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.

Deuteronomy 30:9-11

Biblical Context

God declares that He will make you plenteous in all your doings—fruit of your body, your cattle, and your land—when you heed His voice and turn to Him with all your heart and soul. The commandment is not hidden; it is near, inviting a conscious inner alignment.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this text we are not dealing with an external nation but with your inner kingdom. The Lord thy God will make thee plenteous in every act when you operate from the true Self. Your outer prosperity is the outward sign of your inner alignment. The 'work of thy hand' becomes the product of your present consciousness; the fruit of thy body, cattle, and land are images born of your inner state. When you listen to the voice of the LORD thy God, you are listening to your higher self; to keep His commandments and statutes is to keep the laws written in the book of the heart. You turn unto the LORD with all thy heart and soul when you refuse to doubt and dwell in fear, choosing faith. The commandment is not hidden; it is near, not far off, because it is within your own awareness. Therefore, the path to abundance is not about striving but about revision: assume you are already prosperous, align every decision with that assumption, and feel the joy as if it were true now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine you are already prospering in a chosen area; feel the texture of abundance as real. Say, 'I AM prosperity in all I do,' and let that feeling guide your next action.
