Inner Covenant of Holiness
Leviticus 20:22-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses urge you to keep all my statutes and not follow the surrounding nations, so the land stays with you; separation from pagan practices safeguards your life.
Neville's Inner Vision
To read this verse through the Neville lens, the command is a call to shift the inner state. The land you dwell in is the theater of your consciousness; when you keep my statutes and judgments as you habitually feel them real, the land remains yours because your awareness has not been pulled into disorder. The nations represent the old habits and thoughts you have walked with, the associations that cast you into lives you do not consciously choose. To walk in their manners is to abdicate inner sovereignty; it is why I abhorred them, because they deny the I AM that you are. By aligning with the inner statutes, you preserve a steady state of consciousness from which outer conditions naturally spring. This is not mere conformity; it is the practice of becoming, within, the very person who lives under a higher law. When you revise your assumption to live as one under this law, your experiences will reflect holiness and covenant loyalty.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are already dwelling in a land governed by inner statutes; feel the land as your stable awareness. Silently revise any competing habit by declaring I live by the higher law within me.
