The Inner Law of Alignment
Leviticus 18:1-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God declares Himself as Israel's LORD and calls them to abandon the patterns of Egypt and Canaan, choosing to live by His judgments and statutes. Obedience becomes living in the divine order.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Neville reading, Leviticus 18:1-5 reveals a shift from outer ritual to inner sovereignty. When the text says, 'I am the LORD your God,' it speaks not of a distant deity but of the I AM you are—the living awareness that can decide differently. The 'doings of the land of Egypt' and the 'ordinances of the land of Canaan' are not places but states of mind—habits of fear, imitation, and attachment to old patterns. To avoid walking in their ordinances is to refuse those old laws and to claim a new ruler: your own inner law, the divine judgments you accept and live by. By keeping these statutes in your imagination, you align your consciousness with a stable order that does not surrender to transient appearances. You do not seek approval in the world; you cultivate the inner condition in which the world follows suit. The clause 'I am the LORD' is the stamp of certainty, the knowing that you are the one who commands reality through awareness. When you persist in this alignment, your outer circumstances reflect the harmony of your inner state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, rest in the I AM, and repeat 'I am the LORD my God' as your present awareness; then revise any thought of old patterns until you feel you are living by divine judgments here and now.
