Genesis 2:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 2 in context

Scripture Focus

7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 2:7

Biblical Context

Genesis 2:7 describes God forming man from dust and breathing life, turning dust into a living soul through an inner act.

Neville's Inner Vision

Assume that the dust of the earth is only a starting mood of your consciousness, not a limitation. The text tells us that God forms you and breathes life into you. In Neville’s sense, the ‘breath of life’ is the inflow of awareness from the I AM, your own unconditioned being, into your formed state. When you imagine, you are actualizing a version of yourself; the living soul is simply your awakened sentience, the very act of perceiving as life. Therefore, the creation is not two acts in distance, but one continuous movement of consciousness: you choosing and sustaining a state until it becomes your felt reality. The dust is your current mental pattern, and the breath is an inner invitation that reorganizes those patterns into a coherent, lively sense of self. As you dwell in a state of I AM, filled with the sense 'I am life' and 'I am wholeness', the external world begins to reflect that inner vitality. The key is belief as a present-tense assumption, not hope for the future; the moment you feel it real, you have restructured your inner man, and the outward becomes an expression of that living soul.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the feeling of the I AM as your currently existing self; breathe it in, feel the life rising in your chest, and rest in the certainty that your inner form is alive.
