Neville Goddard on Psalms 15:1-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 15 in context

Scripture Focus

1Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

2He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

3He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

4In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

5He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

Psalms 15:1-5

Biblical Context

Psalm 15 asks who can dwell with God; the answer lists qualities of integrity, truthfulness, mercy, and faithful promise-keeping, stating such people shall not be moved.

Neville's Inner Vision

To dwell with God is to occupy a definite state of consciousness. The psalmist reveals that one who walks upright, acts righteously, and speaks truth in the heart already abides in the divine; for imagination creates reality, and your inner life becomes your outer scene. When you chastise the tongue, neglect harm toward a neighbor, or take no reproach upon another, you are pruning the inner garden where God dwells. In your vision, vile persons are contemned not in judgment but in keeping your own temple pure, and you honor those who fear the LORD by keeping your word even when it hurts you. You refuse usury and bribery, and you stand firm in truth; such a ruler of your self shall never be moved, for the I AM within you becomes the hill on which you stand.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state. I am upright, I speak truth in my heart, I do not harm my neighbor, I honor the fear of the LORD, and I keep my word even when it hurts.
