Inner Word at Mount Fire
Deuteronomy 5:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God speaks face to face from the fire on the mountain; the people fear the blaze and refrain from ascending, while Moses stands to convey the word.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner sense of this text, the LORD is the I AM speaking within your own consciousness. The mount and the fire are the charged conditions of your present state where attention is heated by imagination. You are the audience and the mediator: you stand between the divine word and the people of your mind, just as Moses did, so that you may hear the revelation without being overwhelmed. The experience of fear is not God withholding Himself; it is the ego clinging to familiar forms. When you imagine God speaking to you face to face, you are practicing direct communion with your higher self, recasting the listener into the speaker: you become the one who carries the word of God into your daily thought. The act of “standing between” becomes your inner posture, a choice of consciousness that allows the word to be received and embodied. By accepting the word as already given, you dissolve fear and ascend into the mount of awareness where revelation is constant, not distant.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes; imagine you stand between the LORD and the people of your mind, and feel the word arriving as a fresh realization. Repeat, 'I am the Presence speaking within me now,' letting the imagined voice revise every fear until you feel it real.
