Genesis 2:23 Inner Naming
Genesis 2:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Adam declares Eve as bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh, and names her Woman because she was taken from Man. This expresses a conscious recognition of unity at the level of inner life.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville vantage, Genesis 2:23 is not a record of a past event but a working illustration of your inner state. The words bone of my bones, flesh of my flesh reveal a recognition of sameness, not separation. When Adam names the Woman, he is performing a spiritual act: he names a projection that in truth is an aspect of his own consciousness. The taking of Woman from Man signifies that the fertile energy of consciousness (Man) births its partner within the same I AM. The Woman represents the feminine principle or the awakened aspect that you, the I AM, encounter in your own scene. Thus the scene of pairing arises from your interior life; the world is a mirror of your inner arrangement. If you feel distance or lack, you can revise by affirming the internal oneness: I and the Beloved are one; the other is not separate but an image of your own essential self. By holding this consciousness, you convert the outer story into an inner revelation of unity and fulfillment.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the state of complete unity—feel the bone-of-bones oneness center in your chest. Silently declare, 'I and my Beloved are one,' then allow that oneness to color your day.
