Lot, Sodom, and the Inner Kingdom
Genesis 14:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Lot, Abram's nephew living in Sodom, is carried off with his goods, a symbol of how attachment to worldly life can unsettle the inner order. This event invites a turn inward to re-create reality from consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of Lot as a distinct state of consciousness parked in Sodom—the arena of appetite, fear, and outward wealth. When 'they' take Lot and his goods, this is not a history lesson but a signal that a part of your inner life has been carried off by external conditions. The kings are the ruling thoughts of scarcity and the ego’s dominion, moving through your atmosphere until you believe you are powerless. Abram represents the higher self—the I AM within you that can call back what has wandered. The rescue is not about a physical army; it is an inner act of imagination where you align with the one who rules your inner realm and commands the laws of awareness. In that alignment, the loss reveals itself as a movement of your own mind, and the 'goods' can be recovered as renewed clarity, purpose, and wealth of consciousness. The Kingdom of God appears not on a map but as your realized assumption: you and your life reflect the state you inhabit.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling that I AM rules this scene; see Lot and his goods restored in your inner life, and feel gratitude.
