Ladder of Inner Covenant
Genesis 28:12-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 28 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jacob dreams of a ladder between earth and heaven with angels, and the LORD announces Himself as the God of Abraham and Isaac, promising the land to Jacob and his descendants.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the ladder as the structure of your own consciousness, a vertical axis on which every thought and feeling climbs toward higher awareness. The angels are the ceaseless movements of life—impressions, insights, and opportunities—ascending and descending through your inner air, until you awaken to your true identity. When the text says the LORD stood above it, imagine the I AM—the field of pure awareness—standing over every opinion, every lack, every limitation, inviting you to claim a land already prepared in your being. The covenant spoken to Abraham and Isaac becomes your inner contract: your present mode of perception can be enriched and extended into a larger sense of self, your “seed” the potential you awaken as you persist in consciousness. You do not seek God somewhere distant; you realize that God is the awareness through which you live, and the outward blessings follow as you treat your inner state as real and permanent.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and picture a ladder extending from where you stand toward heaven. With each rung, affirm 'I AM' and feel your present awareness expand into the promised land.
