Inner Cities Of Dwelling
Numbers 35:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 35 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Israel is commanded to give the Levites cities to dwell in, with surrounding suburbs for their cattle and goods. This shows a covenantal order of provision and belonging within the community.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of Numbers 35:2-3 as a map of your inner territory. The Levites are your living minister of awareness, the I AM that attends the shrine of your day-to-day experience. The cities you are commanded to grant them are not geographic places but states of consciousness you choose to inhabit. The suburbs around each city are the mental conditions that sustain and guard that central quality—the energy, the habits, the practical thoughts that serve your divine assignment. In this reading, the inheritance you inherit is your own awareness; the covenant loyalty demanded is unwavering inner fidelity to the image you hold of yourself. When you feel the pull of doubt or distraction, revise: you are the owner who freely places the proper city within the mind and lays out suburbs for cattle, goods, and all your beasts—the energies that circulate in daily life. By keeping your attention anchored in that inner city, you align outer events with the pattern you have assumed. Imagination is your steward; the I AM fulfills through you as you consent to dwell there.
Practice This Now
Act now: close your eyes and imagine entering the city you have assigned to the Levites. Feel yourself there as the I AM aware, then let the sense of dwelling spread to surrounding suburbs each day.
