Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 9:9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 9 in context

Scripture Focus

9When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:

Deuteronomy 9:9

Biblical Context

Moses goes up the mountain to receive the stone tablets of the covenant and remains there for forty days and forty nights, fasting from food and drink.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the mount as the inner state you ascend in consciousness. The forty days symbolize a sustained period of inner discipline where sensory feeding is set aside so that the heart may be inscribed with the Covenant by your own I AM awareness. The stone tablets are not external rules but the immutable truths that your imagination has written upon the inner rock of consciousness. When you align with the I AM, you release the need for bread or water; you feed on the certainty that God, the presence, is always here. In this inner ascent, you are told you are already in covenant with the divine, and the law is written upon your heart, not on stone apart from you. The absence of food is a symbolic removing of doubt, an invitation to allow inner reality to become your outer experience. Your daily life reflects the covenant as you dwell in that awareness, and the appearance of events conforms to the inner law imagined and assumed.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already on the inner mount: spend a quiet moment daily in stillness, declare I AM present, and feel that the covenant is written upon your heart as immutable truth. Let your outer circumstances bend to the conviction you imagine.
