Inner Reverence and Sabbath Rest
Leviticus 19:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It commands honoring mother and father and keeping the Sabbath. It proclaims the LORD as God.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's cadence, the 'mother' and 'father' are inner principles—the nourishing authority and the discipline shaping my life. Reverence toward them is the alignment of my attention with truth, not mere outward fear. The call to 'keep my sabbaths' becomes a daily inner pause where I listen to the I AM within, a rhythm that affirms God's sovereignty over my thoughts. When I imagine obedience to these inner authorities, I train my consciousness to dwell in the awareness that I am the I AM and that God dwells in me. The words 'I am the LORD your God' remind me that the ultimate governor of my reality is the I AM, and there is covenant loyalty between my awareness and divine order. If resistance arises, revise it by assuming: I now honor inner parents and rest in the I AM, and my life aligns with that truth.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and repeat: I honor my inner mother and father; I rest in the I AM. Feel this rest as the guiding power that shapes every moment.
