Inner Vows and Inner Authority
Numbers 30:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 30 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse says a vow stands if the inner husband remains silent upon hearing it; if he disallows, the vow is voided and forgiveness follows from the Lord, revealing the fault is within the consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's terms, the husband represents your inner state of consciousness—the I AM that governs what you accept as true. When your inner governor stays silent on hearing a vow, that pledge remains as your lived state, binding you to the imagined fulfillment. If, however, your inner authority disallows it, the vow is annulled and the soul is released; forgiveness follows as your awareness shifts. This is not a mechanical law but a reflection of consciousness creating form. The outer law echoes your inner assumption: you are always free to revise, to replace a binding belief with a higher, more authentic state. The divine forgiveness is the natural correction of perception when you align with your real I AM and refuse to remain attached to an unwanted vow. Remember: the power lies in the inner consent, not in the spoken word. By keeping the mind steady in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you permit the old binds to dissolve and a new reality to take root.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and recall a vow you wish to embody as true now. Then imagine the inner husband quietly affirming it with a calm, silent consent, and dwell in the feeling that the wish is already fulfilled for several minutes.
