Dust of Departure, Inner Judgment
Matthew 10:14-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Matthew 10:14-15, Jesus instructs that if a household or city does not welcome you, you should shake the dust off your feet, and warns that such cities will face greater judgment than Sodom and Gomorrah.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's terms, the house or city represents a current state of consciousness that resists your truth. When you depart and shake off the dust of your feet, you are cleansing your vibration, not merely leaving people; you release old identifications and beliefs that say you cannot progress. The stark comparison to Sodom and Gomorrah signals the inner consequences of clinging to fixed egoic patterns while the I AM within you seeks to awaken. The day of judgment is an inner reckoning where your new state of consciousness rearranges your outer world. Your imagination is the instrument through which reality forms; if you lament rejection, you may be inviting that rejection into your experience. Instead, imagine your message is heard, and align your inner listener with your own I AM. In that alignment, the outer scene shifts to reflect your inner breakthrough.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine stepping away from a scene where your words are not received; shake off the dust from your feet and declare, 'I AM the creator of my reality; my truth is heard in the domain of my own consciousness.'
