Seed of Inner Triumph

Genesis 3:15-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 3 in context

Scripture Focus

15And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Genesis 3:15-16

Biblical Context

Genesis 3:15-16 presents an inner drama: a conflict between higher consciousness (the woman's seed) and ego, with a promise that true awareness will prevail and births of new understanding emerge from struggle. The sorrow and desire described become symbolic of inner birth and alignment.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner world, the woman represents your higher state, the seed of awareness; the serpent is the stubborn habit of separation. Enmity between them is not punishment but friction through which consciousness awakens. When you accept that your thoughts can choose a new center, you begin to bruise the head of the old serpent by means of a single, unwavering assumption: I AM. The seed of the woman grows by imagining itself as the ruler of your inner kingdom, not the servant of fear. The line, It shall bruise thy head, becomes the experience of failure to seize power in the old way—the ego’s stubborn resistance—yet the new idea, felt as real and present, crushes that resistance. The sorrow and birth-pangs are the inner process by which new ideas are conceived in the mind; desire turning toward the husband becomes the inward consent that the I AM stands sovereign in your life. Thus the prophecy unfolds as an inner revelation: your awareness creates, your trials refine, and redemption is the alignment of thought with God.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and place a seed of light at the center of your chest; silently declare, I AM the seed of the woman awakening in me, and feel this presence overpower the old thought patterns until they fade. Let this inner ruler hold you in calm, unwavering certainty.
