No Strife Among Brethren

Genesis 13:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 13 in context

Scripture Focus

8And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
Genesis 13:8

Biblical Context

Abram seeks to end quarrel with Lot by appealing to their shared brotherhood; the verse highlights peace between families and herdmen.

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 13:8 is a manual for ruling your inner life. Abram’s call, 'Let there be no strife,' is not a plea to another person but a decision of consciousness. The herdmen represent clashing desires, the land their shared stage. When you insist 'we be brethren,' you acknowledge a fundamental oneness that dissolves separation. In your I AM, there is no true rival, only different expressions of one mind. The moment you regard another as a separate foe, you fracture your own reality; when you treat them as kin in spirit, you release the energy of scarcity and invite cooperation. The inner result is harmony in perception, which manifests as peaceful relationships, clear discernment, and wise use of resources. Your job is to linger in the unity of being until the sense of strife evaporates, replaced by a felt sense of abundance and mutual regard. Imagination creates reality; hold the image of peace, and your world will follow.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of harmony now: picture you and Lot (or your own 'other') as already reconciled; feel the reality of 'we be brethren' in your chest; revise any scene of discord by stating, 'There is no strife; only the unity of one mind'.
