Hiding the Goodly Child Within
Exodus 2:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A Levi man marries a Levi woman; they conceive a son whom the mother sees as goodly and hides him for three months.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Exodus 2:1-2 the birth of Moses is a symbolic birth of a new state of consciousness. The two Levi figures are the united faculties of imagination and faith within the I Am, coming together to conceive a vision. When I behold the child as goodly, I acknowledge its truth and commit to its existence, for the value of the dream is already established in consciousness. The three months of hiding represent a gestation: I protect, nurture, and quietly feed the state until it has grown strong enough to endure the outer world. This is obedience to the inner impulse, not caprice. Providence and Guidance play the role of an unseen hands-on current, guiding the gestation and timing. The story invites me to trust that an inner birth, once conceived as real, will surface in the right moment with its own outward form. In this manner, the mother-state and the father-state of my mind unite to bring forth a reliable expression of my future.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled now and quietly nourish it as the hidden child within until it begins to show itself in daily life.
