Inner Pilgrimage: Three Times
Exodus 23:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse commands a threefold annual gathering of the people before the LORD God.
Neville's Inner Vision
Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the LORD God becomes an inner discipline rather than a geographic trek. See the three visits as cadences of attention within the sanctuary of your own consciousness where the I AM—God within—receives your active faculties, your decisions, and your worship. The word appear points not to onlookers but to a conscious, covenant-minded acknowledgment of divine presence. This is true worship: not ritual spectacle but the alignment of your inner loyalty with the timeless law of life. When you imagine yourself standing before the LORD God, you are rehearsing the reality that you are already governed by divine order and that you are always in the presence of your own I AM. Such inner pilgrimages discipline your thinking and feeling until outward acts move in harmony with this inner state. The three cadences cultivate steadiness, fidelity, and continual return to the I AM, so that your entire life is drawn into covenant-keeping with the divine within.
Practice This Now
Choose three fixed moments to pause today and affirm, 'I am in the presence of the LORD God now.' Feel the reality of that presence and let it revise your sense of self and direction.
