Inner Return From Enemies' Lands
Leviticus 26:39 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 26 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse describes those left behind who pine away in their iniquity in an enemy land, while bearing the iniquities of their fathers. It frames external hardship as a reflection of inner disobedience and inherited patterns.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through Neville’s lens, the verse is not about history but about a state of consciousness. The survivors left in a land of enemies symbolize a mind haunted by guilt, trapped in a world that seems external and hostile. The 'enemies' lands' are the conditions produced by thoughts you have believed, while the 'iniquities of their fathers' are the habitual patterns you inherited and have yet to revise. When you identify with this outer punishment, you pine away, because you have mistaken circumstance for self. The cure is to turn your attention to the I AM—the solitary, ever-present awareness that you are. By assumption you occupy a new inner climate, and by revision you alter the image you hold of yourself and your world. Feel the truth of being intact, free, and sovereign—not as a future possibility but as your current reality. As you persist in the feeling and the mental revision, the inner exile dissolves and external conditions conform to your renewed consciousness. Remember, imagination creates reality; the kingdom is within and you are its ruler.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Close your eyes, feel the I AM in your chest, and revise the scene so you are already home in your own land. Repeat silently, I AM, I AM, I AM, until the feeling is real.
