Inner Return From Trial
Leviticus 26:36-39 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 26 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Leviticus 26:36-39 depicts the remaining people overwhelmed by fear, fleeing imagined dangers and collapsing before their enemies. It also shows exile and loss of identity following adherence to an old self.
Neville's Inner Vision
See the words as a mirror for your mind. The faintness striking the survivors is your old self shrinking as you awaken to the I AM that you are. The sound of a shaken leaf is the tremor of thoughts in the substitute ego, fear masquerading as circumstance. The enemies you fear are not out there; they are the stubborn habits and memories you still identify with. When you affirm I AM, you discover you no longer stand before these fears but from within the certainty of your own awareness. The land that eats you up is the external world formed when you forget the internal kingdom. Those left to pine away are remnants of the old self clinging to its illusions; the iniquities of their fathers signal inherited patterns you repeat until you revise. The inner return is your true exodus; by assuming the feeling of the I AM, the mind leaves exile and enters its native home where all judgment ceases.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the I AM awake within you; feel yourself unshaken by former fears as the leaves of the old self fall away. Revise the scene in your imagination to a victorious stance, and dwell in that feeling until it becomes real.
