Psalms 105:36 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 105 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalms 105:36 speaks of God striking down the firstborn; in Neville's view, this signifies the inner dissolution of the ego's most cherished powers within consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's voice: The land is your mind, and the firstborn is the chief of your inherited patterns—the beliefs that claim to rule you. The smite represents the moment the I AM, the awareness of God within, refuses to be identified with those patterns. When you know you are the Lord of this inner kingdom, the old orders crumble, not by force, but by revelation. The 'Egypt' of bondage dissolves as the inner light shines, and the leading strength of pride, fear, or desire loses its primacy. Providence appears as a gentle rearrangement of your inner state, guiding you toward greater harmony, justice, and fidelity to the covenant of your true self. This is not punishment but awakening: you align with the one Cause and experience a birth into a new kind of living where you stand as sovereign, intact, and free.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and repeat: 'I AM the Lord of this inner land; I revoke the old firstborn’s rule.' Feel the belief in separation soften, then imagine a bright light dissolving the former stronghold and a new sense of inner sovereignty rising within you.
