Inner Letters and Unity
Nehemiah 6:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Nehemiah 6:17–18 shows Judah's nobles sending letters to Tobiah, and many are tied to him through family ties, signaling a network of loyalty that undermines reform.
Neville's Inner Vision
That scene is a mirror of the inner life. The nobles' letters to Tobiah are not merely political; they are thoughts and loyalties moving within your own mind. Tobiah stands for a persistent inner doubt, a familiar habit of seeking security through old alliances. The claim 'he is the son-in-law' and 'his daughter is married into the family' marks how inner dispositions weave themselves into your sense of self, binding you to patterns you imagined would keep you safe. When many are sworn to him, it echoes the parts of you that have pledged themselves to fear rather than to the I AM that you truly are. Remember: these are inward movements of consciousness, not events outside. The moment you assume a different state—one of covenant loyalty to the divine presence in you—the imagined letters lose their authority. You order the scene from your eternal center, and unity becomes the actual texture of experience. Your inner city, once compromised by imagined alliances, is re-sealed by the certainty of I AM awareness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: For 5 minutes, sit with closed eyes and repeat, 'I AM that I AM; I govern the inner city.' Then visualize tearing up the letters and sealing the gates, letting unity saturate your mind.
