Neville Goddard on Genesis 28:15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 28 in context

Scripture Focus

15And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

Genesis 28:15

Biblical Context

Genesis 28:15 declares that God is with Jacob, will protect him, and will fulfill what He spoke. It speaks to a covenant of constant presence guiding the journey.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jacob's dream is not a geographical itinerary but a transformation of awareness. The words 'I am with thee' declare that God is the I AM you awaken to when you are conscious of yourself as the one whose awareness can govern every place. When God says, 'I will keep thee,' He invites you to dwell in a state of steadfast attention, to cultivate a consciousness that does not wander from the path of your wish. The land promised is your own state of being, your inner harmony, your realized goal; the journey home is the turning of your attention back to the I AM in every step. The clause 'I will not leave thee' is the assurance that the state you entertain will persist until it hardens into fact by your sincere assumption. So, cultivate covenant loyalty—keep faith with the inner I AM, and Providence guides you, arranging circumstances to mirror your inner state.

Practice This Now

Act: For the next 5 minutes, assume 'I am with thee' as your present state and feel the space around you warm with that companionship. Then carry that felt presence into every place you go today, knowing the I AM is guiding you.
