Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 32:8-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 32 in context

Scripture Focus

8When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.

9For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

10He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

11As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

12So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.

13He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;

14Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.

Deuteronomy 32:8-14

Biblical Context

The Most High assigns nations, calls Israel His portion, and leads His people through a wilderness of testing, providing sustenance and protection as proof of His constant presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, do you see that the text does not merely describe places and tribes, but the inner arrangement of your own awareness? The Most High is the I AM who divides, not the external world. When you accept that your mind has its own borders and that your soul is the Lord's portion, you awaken to a guiding, intimate presence. In the wilderness of belief, He instructs and shelters you, making you the apple of His eye, a signal to your own I AM of safety and direction. The eagle lifting its young is your awareness rising, spreading its wings to bear you toward high places of consciousness. There is no other god with you—no contradictory thought can occupy the throne of your mind. The honey, oil, and milk are the loves of your life that imagination supplies when rightly aligned; the rock becomes nourishment when you trust the inner vision. So you ride the high places and drink the grapes of certainty not from without, but from within your own sacred feeling of I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare: 'I AM the Lord's portion; my life is divinely bounded by my inner God.' Then envision the eagle lifting you to high places, and taste honey from the rock, feeling abundance flowing within you.
