The Inner Language of Humility
Genesis 11:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God comes down to confuse their language to stop their unified project, showing that pride invites correction. The action reveals inner fragmentation when the mind exalts itself.
Neville's Inner Vision
Genesis 11:7 is not an ancient tale about a distant people; it is a blueprint for consciousness. The phrase 'Go to, let us go down' invites you to descend from the height of pride into the quiet, watching I AM who sees all. The 'confounding their language' is the inner correction that awakening brings when your dominant thought is self-glorification and separation. When you are attached to a single believable story about yourself and others, your inner speech becomes a chorus of misunderstanding, and your outer world mirrors that discord. The moment you refuse to exalt yourself and instead acknowledge the I AM as creator, the barrier dissolves—different languages fall into a single meaning, a harmonious purpose. In this sense, God is not punishing you but adjusting your inner instruments so that communication reflects unity rather than division. Your task is not to fight the world but to revise the inner word you have used to build it. Speak from the awareness that you are one with all you meet, and feel that unity so vividly that the 'languages' of resistance fade into clarity.
Practice This Now
Choose one relationship where you felt misunderstanding. Close your eyes, assume the I AM within you is already understanding all, speak internally, 'We understand each other completely,' and feel the unity until the mental chatter quiets.
