Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 6:10-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 6 in context

Scripture Focus

10And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,

11And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;

12Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Deuteronomy 6:10-12

Biblical Context

The passage speaks of entering a land of abundance granted by the LORD. It warns you not to forget the Source that brought you out of bondage.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, the land in Deuteronomy is a state of consciousness, not a geography. The great and goodly cities, the full houses, the wells, the vineyards are conditions you awaken within imagination, already provided by your present awareness. When you have eaten and are full, the admonition to beware of forgetting appears as a test of your continued faith; the old sense of self can drift back to bondage unless you stay aligned with the Source. In this sense the LORD thy God is the inner I AM, your awareness that brought you out of bondage into a realm where possibilities flourish. The prosperity of the land is not earned by toil but manifested by deliberate awareness in a state of fullness. Remembering is not mere memory but a stance: stay aligned with the I AM as the sole source. As you dwell in your inner land, your outer life begins to reflect it—cities, wells, and vineyards of your choosing spring forth as you persist in the assumption of completion. Your redemption is the ongoing revision of what you accept as real, lived now in consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and revise your sense of self to the state of abundance; imagine you already dwell in the promised land, taste fullness, then persist in the feeling by softly repeating I AM as the truth of your life.
