Neville Goddard on Numbers 23:3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Numbers 23 in context

Scripture Focus

3And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.

Numbers 23:3

Biblical Context

Balaam tells Balak he will go to a high place and seek the LORD to meet him, promising to report whatever is shown. The passage centers on a quest for prophetic encounter through ascent, whether literal or symbolic.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe how Balaam’s line stands not as a demand upon a far-off deity but as a declaration of inner alignment. When he says, the LORD will come to meet me, he announces a state of consciousness he intends to enter. The burning offering, the high place, even the word “stand by” are symbolic prompts for lifting the mind above its ordinary chatter. In Neville's psychology, God is not a distant client but the I AM that you already are. The Lord appearing is the moment your awareness chooses to acknowledge itself as the standing presence, and the message you receive is the content your own mind has decided to reveal. Therefore the “revelation” is an act of revision and feel-it-real imagination: you imagine yourself already in the presence, and the truth that you will tell flows from that inner meeting. Balaam’s ascent is your ascent—the shift of attention from fear or doubt to the quiet throne of awareness where all prophecy begins and all promises are fulfilled.

Practice This Now

Sit in a quiet place, and assume you are already in the presence of God; feel the meeting, and let a simple insight or promise rise as if shown to you.
