Neville Goddard on Exodus 20:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 20 in context

Scripture Focus

1And God spake all these words, saying,

2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Exodus 20:1-2

Biblical Context

God declares Himself as the LORD who brought you out of Egypt, symbolizing liberation from bondage; the message invites you to see freedom as an inner, conscious state.

Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 20:1-2 is not a history lesson but a decree of your present state of consciousness. The I AM, declared as LORD, is your awareness naming itself as the ruling power of your life. Egypt represents the old sleep of limitation—the patterns you mistake for reality. Deliverance is an inner shift: you awaken to being governed by the I AM, the Living One within, and thus you move out of bondage in mind. The covenant loyalty asked is fidelity to this inner state—refusing to identify with limitation and affirming, 'I am the God of my life, the one who leads me out.' As you hold this realization, you rise from that mental tomb and walk free, not by force but by aligning with the truth that you are now free in the I AM. The simple practice is to dwell in that awareness and let it restructure your sense of self and circumstance.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and, with steady breath, declare, 'I am the LORD my God, I have brought myself out of bondage.' See yourself stepping from bondage into light, as the I AM within you leads the way; feel the freedom as a now-present reality.
