Numbers 17:11-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Moses obeys the Lord's command; the people fear proximity to the tabernacle and worry about dying.
Neville's Inner Vision
Numbers 17:11-13, viewed through Neville's lens, shows that the tabernacle stands as the inner state of awareness. Moses' obedience is your disciplined willingness to let God’s order govern your thoughts; the complaint of the people is the psyche's fear at the edge of a sacred boundary. The Presence of God is not out there to threaten but within as I AM—the assumption that you are already where you desire to be. When you believe proximity to that Presence will devour you, you contract into a death-state of limitation. The antidote is to revise: you are not dying but becoming more aware, more wholly present. Each moment you maintain that you already stand inside the sacred tent of consciousness, you displace fear with faith. The inner scene of obedience births a new reality; your life rearranges itself to reflect the state you inhabit.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the scene by declaring, I am within the Presence now. I stand inside my inner tabernacle, untouched by fear.
