Inner Sabbath Blessing and Rest

Genesis 2:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 2 in context

Scripture Focus

3And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Genesis 2:3

Biblical Context

Genesis 2:3 says God blessed and sanctified the seventh day because He rested from His creative work.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's voice: The seventh day is not a mere clock-turning point but a state of mind. God blessing and sanctifying it reveals that rest is an act of consciousness, the I AM at rest in awareness. When you align with the principle that you are the I AM, you stop making your life a perpetual project of effort. Rest becomes sanctification as you stop identifying with labor, and blessing flows into the moment because you accept the state you already are. The inner Sabbath is the deliberate turning of attention from doing to being, from striving to simply knowing that you are creation’s source and its rest. The day is holy wherever you choose to dwell in perception, and that dwelling is the gift that sanctifies your time. In practice, imagine the day already blessed, and feel the current of grace that comes when you consent to rest in consciousness and admire the good that is already done by your awareness.

Practice This Now

Assume the day is blessed now; sit in quiet awareness and say, 'The I AM rests here and blesses this moment.' Then observe how your sense of effort softens into being.
