Inner Boundary of Holiness
Exodus 19:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Exodus 19:13 states that no one may touch the holy place or risk death, and calls the people to ascend to the mount when the long trumpet sounds.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville Goddard's language, the 'holy' is an inner state of consciousness. 'Touch not the holy' warns against clinging to fear or old beliefs while you are present to your I AM. The mountain represents your inner state of awareness where the divine I AM resides. The penalty of death or peril for touching the holy speaks to the necessity of purifying thought forms that would contaminate the sacred space of consciousness. The 'long trumpet' is the persistent inner signal calling you to ascend in imagination—this is not a call outward but an invitation to occupy the state of being you seek. The gathering to the mount upon hearing the trumpet mirrors your decision to align with your covenant of wholeness rather than with limitation. When you hear that trumpet, you do not chase external proof; you enter the mount within and allow your realized state to reflect outward as lived experience.
Practice This Now
Assume you are already standing on the mount of your I AM. Feel the sacred space as present and revise any sense of lack until you feel it real.
