Inner Covenant Restored
Deuteronomy 31:16-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 31 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God warns that the people will turn to other gods, break the covenant, and, as a result, God will withdraw His presence, bringing troubles that reveal their separation from Him.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this scripture, the LORD stands as your I AM—the steadfast awareness that you are always in the Presence. The line about the people 'sleeping with thy fathers' signals resting in old beliefs and identifications; the rise to 'whoring after the gods of the strangers' names the mind’s habit of chasing substitutes for Reality—images of security, success, or fear that promise plenty but deliver distraction. When the covenant is broken, the 'anger' kindles and the Presence appears to withdraw; this is inner weather, the consequence of identification with lack or separation. The evils spoken of are not punishments from an external deity, but the natural outcome of forgetting your oneness with the I AM. The text, in Neville’s sense, invites you to look inward and recall that God is not beyond you but the very aware center of your being. When you realign with the inner covenant—that you are one with the Presence—the sense of absence fades and the mind returns to peace, restoring covenant and releasing fear.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, place a hand on your heart, and assume the state 'I am the Presence within me now.' Repeat, 'I and my Father are one,' and feel the Presence filling your being.
