Neville Goddard on Judges 18:2-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 18 in context

Scripture Focus

2And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.

3When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?

Judges 18:2-3

Biblical Context

Dan's scouts set forth to map the land and arrive at Micah's house. There they hear the Levite's voice and ask who brought him there and what he is doing.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the mystic, Judges 18:2-3 is a drama of inner states. The land is the field of your thoughts; the five men are facets of a restless urge to map life by external standards. They lodge at Micah's house—a fixed image you entertain in your mind. The Levite's voice represents your inner discernment—the I AM that knows a state of awareness is present. The questions they pose, 'Who brought thee hither? and what hast thou here?' are your inner audits of origin and purpose for every belief that sits in your consciousness. If you cling to conquest, you will justify separations and schemas. If you realize that you are the I AM, that imagination creates reality, you will revise. The moment you inhabit the feeling of the wish fulfilled—believing you are already in possession of your desired unity—the land answers with harmony, not competition. Let your inner witness guide you, not the outer map; let your reconnaissance cultivate discernment, obedience to the higher Self, and a unity of purpose within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare: I am the I AM, and I already possess the land of my decision. Then revise any contrary scene until the feeling of the wish fulfilled is real.
