Inner Urim and Thummim
Nehemiah 7:65 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Nehemiah 7:65 shows the ruler commanding that the most holy things be withheld until a priest with Urim and Thummim stands. It emphasizes holiness as a process that requires inner authorization before sacred experience.
Neville's Inner Vision
Enter the inner theater where the Tirshatha is your current level of awareness, the gatekeeper of what you permit into your life. Until a priest with Urim and Thummim stands, you withhold the sacred—not from God, but from your own experience—because your inner certainty has not yet been authenticated. The Urim and Thummim symbolize two living faculties you already possess: illumination and integrity, ready to flash truth into your choices when aligned with the I AM. This verse nudges you to stop outsourcing sacred authorization and to imagine the inner priest operating within your imagination, certifying what is real for you. When you feel the I AM as present, when your self-conception answers to the inner light, the barrier dissolves and the most holy things become accessible as your natural state. The practice is not striving but recognition: you are the one who grants access by aligning awareness, feeling, and action with the truth already within.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and feel the I AM in your chest; imagine the inner priest with Urim and Thummim shining within you, announcing truth. Then affirm, 'I am now authorized to partake of the most holy things in consciousness.'
