Neville Goddard on Judges 10:6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 10 in context

Scripture Focus

6And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him.

Judges 10:6

Biblical Context

Israel turned away from the LORD and bowed to many idols; the text portrays a relapse into false worship. In daily life, this echoes the mind's tendency to substitute awareness with many personal gods.

Neville's Inner Vision

I understand this as a picture of the inner kingdom. The Israelites objectify gods as outer powers; you do the same when you identify with a belief, a fear, or a role as the source of life. The many Baalim are the conflicting states of consciousness that pull your attention away from the one inward God - the I AM, the living awareness. When you forsake the LORD, you trust that life comes from something apart from you, a projection of your own divided mind. The truth Neville teaches is that God is within - the sole author of your experience. Idols do not threaten you; they reveal how you have forgotten your true self. By revising your assumption, you return to worship of the one consciousness and grant it the right to govern. Imagination becomes not the tool to grant reality to separate powers but the method to acknowledge the unity of life. So you awaken obedience to truth by choosing the LORD within as your reality and letting that single awareness reinterpret every event as manifestation of I AM.

Practice This Now

Declare, 'I am the I AM; this life is the expression of God within me,' and feel that you stand as awareness. Then revise any competing idol by instantly returning to that single present I AM.
