Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 34:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 34 in context

Scripture Focus

7And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.

8And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.

Deuteronomy 34:7-8

Biblical Context

Moses dies at 120 with undimmed sight and enduring strength; the people mourn for thirty days, then the mourning ends.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the outer event encodes an inner turning. Moses is not a man alone but a state of consciousness you entertain as your life image. His age and incorrupt vitality show that true strength and clear sight are not power of the body but activities of the I AM you call 'I.' The death of this image marks the moment you release identification with a fixed picture of yourself and move into the land of your next assumption. The thirty days of mourning symbolize your temporary cling to the old image, your haunting of yesterday’s self with emotion and memory. When that period ends, you do not vanish into nothing; you awaken into a new scene your imagination has already prepared. The undimmed eye and unflagging strength declare that vitality is an inner quality, not a chronological measure. By choosing a present-tense version of yourself and feeling its reality now, you prove that the ‘Moses’ that dies is the old you, while the Promised Land of your next state stands ready to be inhabited by your consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In this moment, close your eyes and declare, I AM the eye that never dims; I live in constant vitality. Then rest in the feeling that the old self has died and a new life now proceeds from your consciousness.
