Opening the Inner Pit
Exodus 21:33-34 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It teaches that if you dig an uncovered pit and someone’s animal falls in, you must cover the damage and compensate the owner; it anchors accountability and stewardship. The principle mirrors inner pits in consciousness that require ownership.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider the pit not as a hole in the ground, but as a pit in consciousness—the neglected state of awareness that you, the I AM, have not covered. When you open such a pit, you invite collapse into your world: the life energy (the ox or donkey) of your days falls in, and you, the owner of the pit, must make it good. This law is not punishment, but a reminder that every inner hazard you leave exposed becomes your responsibility to restore. In the inner theater, your attention is the stone you throw; your decision to cover the pit with intention, discipline, and gratitude determines whether the victim's cry becomes a sign of danger or a signal of your power to heal. By taking ownership—by seeing that the damages belong to the state of your consciousness—you shift from fear to mastery. Your imagination becomes the guardian, and the price paid is the mental energy redirected toward repair, renewal, and alignment with I AM.
Practice This Now
Assume you are the I AM who covers every pit you uncover; feel it as if it is real now by repeating: 'I cover all hazards I create with responsibility and love.'
