Inner Obedience as I AM

Leviticus 22:31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Leviticus 22 in context

Scripture Focus

31Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
Leviticus 22:31

Biblical Context

The verse commands you to keep God's commandments, and to do them, grounding your life in the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, 'keep my commandments' is not a ritual but a state of consciousness you inhabit. 'I am the LORD' is the affirmative that the I AM, the universal awareness, governs your experience. The commandments become inner laws—patterns of thought, feeling, and choice that order reality. When you 'keep' them, you sustain a consistent interior posture; when you 'do' them, you express that posture as living action. Obedience, then, is fidelity to the inner law you have accepted as true. If you feel misaligned, revise your sense of self to the one who already lives in this order: I am the LORD here and now; I am the one who obeys the inner commandments because I am the governing I AM. The covenant is not a distant contract but your ongoing habit of assuming a rightful state. By dwelling in that state—breathing, imagining, feeling—your world begins to reflect the inner order you maintain. The practice is simple: choose one commandment, assume you embody it, and feel it real until the outer circumstances confirm your inner alignment.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Select one commandment to embody today (e.g., honesty). Assume you already live it—feel it real as you repeat 'I am keeping the commandments'—and observe a small outward expression that confirms the inner state.
