Inner Hospitality of I AM
Genesis 19:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Lot presses the guests to stay, welcomes them into his house, and serves a meal. The act centers on generous hospitality and communal nourishment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Genesis 19:3 unfolds not as a mere historical scene, but as a map of the inner life. The guests are states of consciousness that the I AM is eager to host within the house of awareness. When I press upon them, when I make room, invite them in, and refuse to shut the door on possibility, I am aligning with the natural movement of consciousness toward unity. The feast represents the nourishment of imagination; to feast is to dwell fully in the sense of arrival, to let the beloved guest be fed by attention rather than by fear or habit. Unleavened bread signals purification: the ego's leaven, doubts, and preconceived concepts are set aside so perception can be received in its pure form. As I eat this bread of awareness, I ingest the truth that the I AM is the source of all nourishment. Hospitality becomes grace and favor in action, and the mind expands into community and unity with its higher self. In short, Lot's hospitality is your own invitation to dwell in the divine presence, here and now, as your living, breathing reality.
Practice This Now
In a moment of stillness, assume the feeling that your inner room is hosting the divine guest. Then imagine feeding that guest with the bread of pure attention, and dwell in the awareness that I AM nourishes all.
