Love, Time, and Covenant Within

Genesis 29:18-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 29 in context

Scripture Focus

18And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
20And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
Genesis 29:18-20

Biblical Context

Jacob loves Rachel and offers to serve seven years for her. The years pass quickly for him, illustrating how love motivates faithful commitment and binds him to a covenant.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jacob represents a state of longing and a consciousness choosing to bind itself to a future fulfillment with unwavering fidelity. Rachel is the ideal state of harmony the I AM seeks to express through you. Laban and the external demands symbolize the conditions of your environment that you accept while remaining faithful to your inner covenant. The seven years are not time to endure but disciplined imagination, a practice of becoming what you already are in intention. When it is said the years seemed few, Neville would say: dwell in the feeling of already having what you want and time bends to your inner state. The service is devotion to the end you seek; the I AM is the place from which you love, act, and believe. Your covenant is with your own inner abundance; act from that consciousness and time becomes a servant, not a jailer.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the feeling of the fulfilled state now and dwell there for a few minutes, repeating, I am in covenant with my desire. Let time collapse into the present moment as you feel the joy of having what you love.
