Neville Goddard on Genesis 13:14-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 13 in context

Scripture Focus

14And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:

15For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

16And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.

17Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.

Genesis 13:14-17

Biblical Context

Abram is told to look around and see the land as a gift to him and his descendants; he is commanded to walk the land in confidence. The promise is tied to vision and action, not mere desire.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Genesis 13:14-17, the land is not geography but the inner field of consciousness. When Abram lifts his eyes and surveys north, south, east and west, he is really surveying the range of his own awareness—what you can perceive in the state you inhabit. The gift of the land and the promise of seeds are not distant favours but provisions of your I AM, the awareness that says, 'I am that I am filled with abundance.' To walk the land in the length and breadth of it is to connect with the feeling of the wish fulfilled, to revise lack by mentally walking the entire landscape of possibility until it registers as already yours. The dust of the earth becomes the innumerable possibilities your imagination can birth; your seed is your future realized in you, not separate from you. See every direction as an invitation to widen your inner sense of self, and let your daily acts be acts of assumption.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and, in the I AM that you are, picture lifting your gaze to a landscape representing your desired outcome; imagine moving through it—touch, smell, and say 'it is mine'—until the feeling of having it becomes real.
