Inner Highway Passage
Numbers 20:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Numbers 20:17 shows a request to pass through another's country without detours or drinking external water, choosing the king's highway. It is a metaphor for moving through life by inner order and obedience to the inner path.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the outer request to pass through a country becomes a vivid image of passing through the mental landscapes we inhabit. The 'country' is the state of your own awareness; the fields and vineyards are attachments that would tempt you to pause for resources not supplied by the I AM. The well water you refuse to drink signifies turning away from reliance on external conditions for your nourishment. The 'king's highway' is the straight path of consciousness—a disciplined, unwavering focus on Truth. When you declare, in your heart, 'We will not turn to the right hand nor to the left until we have passed the borders,' you are choosing obedience to inner direction over circumstance, inviting Providence to govern your steps. The verse asks for peaceful passage, not conquest; it invites wisdom and discernment to keep to your defined course. In practice, you are invited to dwell in the certainty that the I AM is the source of supply and guidance, and that all outer appearances bend to your inner conviction.
Practice This Now
Assume now that you are already on the king's highway, with no deviation. Feel the certainty of inner guidance, and revise any fear by affirming, 'I pass through safely by the I AM.'
