Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 5:31 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 5 in context

Scripture Focus

31But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.

Deuteronomy 5:31

Biblical Context

God instructs Moses to stand beside Him as He speaks all the commandments, statutes, and judgments. This teaching is to be shared so the people may learn and live them in the land God promises to give them.

Neville's Inner Vision

To stand by the speaker is to stand by the I AM within. Moses says, let the commandment come from the God that speaks in you, not from fear or memory alone. If you would possess the land God promises, you first attend to the inner order—the 'statutes' and 'judgments' become your habitual states of awareness. The commandment is not a distant law but a living pattern you choose to embody in every moment. When you assume the feeling that you already teach them, you are not prescribing outward behavior; you are aligning your inner disposition so that the action flows from the I AM. Obedience then is fidelity to your own awareness, a covenant loyalty to the truth you are learning to hold as real. The people you would teach are the countless aspects of yourself, the habits and wants that must be guided by this inner law. The land to possess is the moment you realize this inner sovereignty, and the outward world reflects that inner state as you continue to stand by the I AM and speak the commandments through your life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, stand by the I AM within, and hear the God-voice speak the commandments to you. Revise any resistance until obedience feels like your natural, lived state.
