Neville Goddard on Exodus 3:4-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 3 in context

Scripture Focus

4And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

5And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

6Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

Exodus 3:4-6

Biblical Context

God calls Moses from the burning bush; Moses answers 'Here am I,' then is told to remove his shoes on holy ground as God identifies Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Neville's Inner Vision

Moses' encounter is not history but a map of your inner state. The burning bush is a facet of your own consciousness that suddenly demands your attention. The voice 'Moses, Moses' is the I AM within naming you to awaken. When you answer, you stand in the midst of your own being and hear the first command to draw not nigh and to put off thy shoes—this is the shedding of old identifications. Shoes are worn ideas; holy ground is the ever-present now where thought and perception are consecrated. The statement I am the God of thy father reveals your line of life, the awareness that blends generational memory with current awakening. Moses hiding his face before the light mirrors your fear before clarity; yet the Call persists, and your imagination can rearrange your self-image until fear is transformed into quiet, fearless presence.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and turn your attention inward to a symbolic bush; hear the call 'Moses, Moses' and respond 'Here am I'; then imagine stepping onto holy ground by letting go of a limiting belief, and feel the I AM presence grounding you in the now.
