Genesis Inner Tower Insight
Genesis 11:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Genesis 11:3-4, people speak of making bricks and building a city and tower to reach heaven, seeking a name. The passage signals a reliance on outward works and fear of being scattered.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your world is not built from brick and stone but from the images you entertain within. Brick represents a fixed belief you repeat until it seems solid; slime is the emotion you pour into it, binding idea to feeling. The city and the tower are the architecture of your self-image when you seek heaven by willpower rather than awakening the I AM within. When they declare 'let us make us a name,' they expose the impulse to identify with a separate self, to prove presence instead of recognizing the One. 'Lest we be scattered' voices your fear of losing unity with that Self, as if without a grand project you would dissolve. The law is unchanging: thoughts become life to the extent you accept them as real. Judgment follows because your inner architecture yields outward effects. Notice the tower’s height mirrors the longing to reach heaven by personal effort; true ascent occurs by surrendering to the I AM and allowing the image to arise from within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume you are the architect of your life, the I AM, already standing in a completed city. Revise any prideful motive by declaring 'I am' already this presence and feel the scene as real.
