Inner Permission Versus Outer Pressure
Numbers 22:13-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Balaam refuses the journey because the LORD will not permit it. The princes report his refusal to Balak.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville lens, Balaam’s ‘no’ is your inner refusal when a plan is pressed that does not serve your divine aim. The princes push toward a journey, yet the LORD’s refusal to grant leave shows that the true geography of your life is mapped by a higher consciousness, not by appetite or ambition. In your inner drama, places are dispositions and events are movements of consciousness. If you feel a firm inner boundary—'I am not going where the I AM withholds permission'—you are walking in line with your real purpose. The outward scene will adjust to reflect that inner alignment, not the other way around. When you acknowledge this inner veto, you protect your integrity, and a different door opens—a path that mirrors your true aim and allegiance to the divine I AM. Practice: assume the feeling that you already have permission only for what serves your higher state, and revise any plan that would contradict that.
Practice This Now
Practice: sit quietly and declare, 'I am I AM; I permit only what aligns with my divine purpose.' Then vividly revise a scene of turning from a tempting path and moving toward the path your inner law approves.
