Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 6:6-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 6 in context

Scripture Focus

6And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

7And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

8And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

9And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

Deuteronomy 6:6-9

Biblical Context

These verses demand that the commandments dwell in the heart and guide daily life. They insist on continual teaching, discussion, and visible reminders—from home to road and from waking to sleeping.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your commandment is not a distant law but a state of consciousness you awaken within. When these words dwell in your heart, you are conditioning your I AM to a particular mode of being. The instruction 'shall be in thine heart' means you assume the state of the law now; you do not seek to acquire it but to become it. 'Thou shalt teach them diligently' becomes your habit of speaking to yourself and others from the tone of certainty, as if the world already reflects your inner decree. As you walk, sit, or lie down, you practice the consistent attention that binds the Word to your life—like a sign upon your hand, a frontlet between your eyes, writing on the posts of your house. In this inner discipline, you are not commanded by external rules but by your I AM, which is awareness. Your assumption, felt as real, writes the outer world into alignment with the inner law.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine the commandment as a living lamp within your heart. Silently affirm, 'I AM the word written on my heart, guiding every action,' and feel it as already real.
