Neville Goddard on Exodus 9:8-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 9 in context

Scripture Focus

8And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.

9And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.

10And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.

11And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.

12And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.

Exodus 9:8-12

Biblical Context

Exodus 9:8-12 shows Moses sprinkling ashes that become boils across Egypt, signaling that outward events mirror inner states. Pharaoh's resistant heart mirrors a consciousness clinging to old identity even as signs arise.

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville's perspective, the ashes are the abandoned beliefs of the old self, the furnace a pressure of desire for renewal, and the act of sprinkling toward heaven a deliberate imposition of a new state into the I AM. The dust that becomes a boil is the visible eruption of a mind that has chosen a new identity; the boils are not punishment but the bodying forth of a new level of awareness. The magicians who cannot stand before Moses show that once you stand in the authority of your higher self—the I AM—the old tricks of fear lose their force. Pharaoh’s hardening of heart represents your habitual resistance to the proven truth of your newly claimed state. You, the reader, are Moses and Aaron here: declare a new state with conviction, and let the world conform to your inner decree, for the I AM is the law that governs all.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the new state by saying, 'I am the healed and free now.' Then feel the truth in your body for 60 seconds.
