Inner Locusts, Outer Manifestation
Exodus 10:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Exodus 10:14 tells of a vast swarm of locusts sweeping across Egypt, an overwhelming sign of judgment and a turning point in the plague narrative.
Neville's Inner Vision
From Neville’s register, the land of Egypt is the mind under pressure, and the locusts are not insects but a flood of ruling thoughts—fear, blame, lack—that have taken root in the edge of consciousness. Their grievous weight marks the moment a belief system proves itself by its own persistence. The line 'before them there were no such locusts' reveals that a previous mental climate has collapsed as you entertain a fresh inner state; 'neither after them shall be such' hints that, once you revise the inner weather, the old image cannot return. In this psychology, locusts arise when imagination is neglected; they are calls to assume a new state of consciousness rather than to conquer externals. The remedy is to take charge from the I AM behind all appearances: imagine the land as thriving, the coasts open, and feel that you are the sovereign observer of your experience. When you sustain that feeling-real state, the plague dissolves into quiet, and a new harmony is born within you.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, envision the land as your mind. State, I AM the abundant and orderly mind now; feel the relief as you witness the locusts dissolving into a peaceful atmosphere, and dwell in that revised state until it feels real.
