Genesis 3:16 Inner Desires and Sorrow
Genesis 3:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Genesis 3:16 speaks of consequences following the Fall: increased sorrow in conception, and a dynamic of desire toward the husband coupled with his rule.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the inward eye Neville teaches, Genesis 3:16 reveals not an external curse but an inward movement of consciousness. The 'woman' is the feminine disposition within you—receptive, longing to unite with the masculine principle of the I AM. The 'sorrow' and 'conception' are the birth pains of new forms of thought; as you awaken, pain is the energy that births a new idea into form. The phrase 'thy desire shall be to thy husband' is the inner urge toward alignment with the ruling intelligence within, the I AM that governs your world. 'And he shall rule over thee' is not oppression but the natural order when you yield to inner authority. Your present experiences enact your inner state: when you dwell as the I AM, the inner feminine energy seeks union with that I AM and your external life shifts to reflect that harmony. So you are called to revise, assume, and feel it real: imagine already walking in conscious unity where desires are satisfied in exact inner-will alignment.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the I AM as the governing power. Feel the inner desire aligning with that authority and birth a new harmony in your life as if it were already real.
