Inner Healing Serpent Vision
Numbers 21:4-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The people grow discouraged, complain against God and Moses, and are bitten by serpents; after they repent, God provides a symbolic healing by instructing them to look at the brass serpent on a pole, which enables recovery for those who look.
Neville's Inner Vision
This passage is a map of consciousness. The discouragement and complaint of the soul reflect inner resistances to the I AM awareness. The fiery serpents symbolize fears and limiting beliefs that sting the self when it forgets its true nature. The people’s admission of sin signals a turning of attention, and Moses’ prayer represents an inner alignment with a higher idea. The command to lift a brass serpent on a pole is not an external remedy but a powerful inner symbol: to look upon it is to fix the mind on a defined, healing reality—health, vitality, and life blooming within. Whoever beholds this image with the inner eye lives, because life is not found in the problem but in the principle of vitality that you, as consciousness, already are. Thus the act of beholding re-identifies you with the I AM and restores the inner relationship to the source.
Practice This Now
In moments of discouragement, close your eyes, envision a brass serpent on a pole shining within you, and fix your attention on it while affirming, 'I look upon the healing image of my I AM, and I live now.'
