Births Of Inner States

Genesis 11:16-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 11 in context

Scripture Focus

16And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
17And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
18And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
19And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:16-19

Biblical Context

The text traces Eber and Peleg's lifespans and births. It suggests each birth represents a new inner state arising within consciousness, extending life afterward.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard approach, the names Eber and Peleg symbolize successive states of awareness within the I AM. When Eber begat Peleg, a new consciousness is formed, and life seems to continue for ages within that state—an illustration that the moment a new state is conceived in imagination, its effects endure. Peleg’s later birth of Reu signals further creative expansion from the first. Your life likewise unfolds as you entertain a dominant, life-affirming state of consciousness. Do not chase external changes; cultivate a single, vivid assumption—the I AM as your unchanging presence—knowing that its offspring (new truths, relationships, opportunities) will emerge and persist. The long post-birth years are not mere time but the sustained reality of a belief held in awareness, multiplying your interior landscape and, in time, reflecting outwardly as your world.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and declare, I AM the state that births my world. Visualize Peleg as a fresh inner state awakening within you and feel its life extending, then dwell in that feeling as if it already is your lived reality.
