Dissolving Pride, Reclaiming Heaven
Leviticus 26:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 26 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse says God will break the pride of power and make your heaven iron and your earth brass—conditions that resist your former schemes. It points to a turning of inner states that precedes any change in circumstance.
Neville's Inner Vision
Take note that the I AM within you is the sovereign author of all you call reality. The 'pride of your power' is the stubborn image you clothe yourself with—your self-conceit that you control outcomes by effort alone. When Leviticus 26:19 says I will break that pride, it is not punishment but a shift of consciousness: the inner heavens become iron, the inner earth brass—rigid, unyielding states that refuse to respond to your old mental commands. The moment you cease tossing willful prayers at the outer world and decide to feel from a different state, the inner weather changes. You are not at the mercy of exterior circumstances; you are the I AM projecting them. Humility and receptivity dissolve the iron and brass into a pliant atmosphere in which possibilities float. Practice imagining the divine I AM relaxing the hard alloy of your sky and soil, and feel yourself aligning with a higher law where imagination governs.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare 'I AM' as the only power, and revise the self-view that you govern outcomes by force. Then feel the inner heaven soften and the earth yield to your new state.
