Inner Vineyard Realization
1 Kings 21:15-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jezebel arranges Naboth's death to allow Ahab to claim Naboth's vineyard, and Ahab goes to possess it. The scene mirrors how outer wealth arrives when one identifies with greed and abandons inner discernment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice that Naboth’s refusal to sell and the resulting vineyard’s seizure are not about land, but about the state of your consciousness. Jezebel’s voice is the temptation in the mind that says, you must have this external thing now, whatever you must do. The 'dead Naboth' is the old state of yourself that believed you were lacking, thus taught to murder your own inner boundaries to gain possession. Ahab’s rising to possess the vineyard mirrors the dreamer’s act of abandoning inner discernment to obtain a substitute for wholeness. In Neville’s terms, all property is inner claim; what matters is the assumption you entertain about your life. If you believe you are a lack, you will move through life as if your reality must be stolen by force. The antidote is to revise the inner assumption: you are the I AM, the owner of your inner landscape; abundance flows from consciousness, not from the outside cast. When you imagine yourself as already possessing the fullness you seek, the urge to seize outwardly loses its grip, and you awaken in a garden called now.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the moment: see Naboth's vineyard as your own inner garden and affirm, I am the owner here, and all I require is the fullness of consciousness. Feel the sense of sufficiency as if it already exists, and let the outward urge to seize fade.
