Neville Goddard on Micah 6:1-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

1Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.

2Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.

3O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.

4For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

5O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD.

Micah 6:1-5

Biblical Context

The Lord speaks through creation, calling the mountains and the earth to hear His case against Israel. He recalls deliverance from Egypt and invites them to remember the paths of righteousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard vein, Micah 6:1-5 becomes an inner court scene, where the mountains and foundations are inner states of consciousness—fixed beliefs and immovable habits—that hear the LORD's controversy because you, the I AM, have decided to contend with them. The cry 'Arise' is an invitation to shift your awareness, to stop bargaining with negative memories and to let your imagination plead the case of a higher self. When God asks, 'What have I done unto thee?' He places you in a courtroom of awareness where the only witness is your present assumption. Remembering Egypt’s deliverance is not history but an inner memory of liberation from bondage to fear, a reminder that you already possess the power to awaken into freedom. Balak and Balaam are allegories of seductive thoughts that would keep you in alignment with limitation; their memory teaches you to discern which thoughts testify to righteousness. The 'righteousness of the LORD' inside you is the calm conviction that your I AM is the source and you have nothing to fear in the now. The entire passage is a script for conscious revision, a call to awaken to your true alliance with God within.

Practice This Now

Practice: Close your eyes and assume the I AM is speaking through you. In your own words, revise any claim of lack by affirming 'I AM free now' and feel that reality as if it already occurred.
