The Hidden Face Within
Exodus 33:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 33 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse declares that no one can behold God’s full face and live, marking a boundary between mortal sight and divine majesty. It points to an inner reality beyond outward appearances.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville’s vein, the text is not a warning about distance but a map of inner state: you are not asked to behold an external God, but to awaken your own I AM as the face of God within. The apparent impossibility reveals the limitation of the ego’s awareness—you keep seeking a spectacle on the outside while truth waits as an inward presence. When you assume the constant I AM as your reality, you no longer gaze outward for life; you live from the inner radiance that doesn’t threaten but completes you. The “cannot see me” is the invitation to trust your inner vision: to revise the sense of separation by feeling yourself as the bearer of divine light, and thereby become able to live as the very face of God in consciousness. Your practice is to return to the I AM, to allow that presence to fill every moment, and to let life reflect that inner vision back to you.
Practice This Now
Assume in present tense: 'I am the I AM which contains all visibility.' Feel the inner face of God within you and let that presence fill your heart; revise the belief of separation by dwelling there for a few minutes.
