Neville Goddard on Exodus 8:22-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 8 in context

Scripture Focus

22And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.

23And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.

Exodus 8:22-23

Biblical Context

God promises a separation: Goshen becomes a protected space where His people dwell. The sign shows He is present in the midst of the earth, distinguishing His people from others.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that Goshen is not geography but a state of consciousness where I AM dwells. When the narrative speaks of severing the land, it points to an inner act of revision: withdraw your awareness from the crowd and anchor it in God’s presence. The flies that plague Egypt are your restless thoughts, fears, and judgments; by acknowledging that 'I am the LORD in the midst of the earth' you affirm that consciousness is the field where all events occur. The division between 'my people' and 'thy people' becomes the recognition that you refuse to identify with limitation; you choose a covenantal loyalty over appearances. You are protected not by outward circumstances but by the awareness you maintain. Practice this: dwell in Goshen now—assume you are the Lord in the midst of your life, feel the stillness, and revise fear as a misaddressed sign. Let the apparent signs mirror your inner covenant rather than dictate your experience.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and openly declare: I am the Lord in the midst of my life; I dwell in Goshen as my protected inner land. Then revise any fear by affirming the division is already established in consciousness.
