Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 34:1-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 34 in context

Scripture Focus

1And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,

2And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,

3And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.

4And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.

Deuteronomy 34:1-4

Biblical Context

Moses climbs to Pisgah to view the vast land God promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and God reveals its span from Gilead to the far coast. He is told that this land is theirs by promise, but Moses himself shall not enter it.

Neville's Inner Vision

From Pisgah you are shown the land, not so that you might possess a place apart, but so you may awaken to the fact that the entire landscape of Gilead, Naphtali, Ephraim, Manasseh, Judah already exists within your consciousness. The I AM the living awareness behind every thought maps the territory of your inner states: courage, clarity, faith, and blessing. The promised land is not a future location to be conquered by outward deeds; it is the quality of your inner life in which you presently dwell. The directive thou shalt not go over thither is a reminder that the work is inner: you do not rush out to pluck it from the world, you allow your inner vision to settle as your habitual mood. When God says I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, He confirms that vision precedes form; your duty is to maintain the vision and let belief reorganize experience accordingly. So, enter the land by assuming you already live there, feeling the welcome of your own I AM as the rightful tenant of every inner field.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already dwelling in the land you saw. Feel the I AM within you as the conscious ruler of that inner country, and rest there until it becomes your outward sunrise.
