Healing the Inner Ground
Genesis 3:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Genesis 3:17-18 depicts the ground cursed with sorrow and toil, and thorns and thistles arising as the difficulties of life.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the Neville Goddard lens, the curse is not a historical judgment but a state of consciousness you have accepted. The ground is the field of your awareness, and to call it cursed is to declare that your awareness has forgotten its sovereignty. When you hear the voice that says you must endure thorns and labor in sorrow, you have identified with separation from the I AM, the living God within. The world responds to that inner movement: obstacles sprout from fear and limitation, mirroring a belief in lack. Yet the invitation is to revise by returning to your true identity. The herb of the field is not an external reward but the nourishment that arises when you realize you are the I AM who names the garden. Providence and guidance are the intelligent awareness behind every sensation, operating as you imagine and feel it real. By practicing deliberate revision—entering the state you desire and dwelling there—you awaken that you are the author of your scene and the inhabitor of inner abundance.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM state now and revise the scene. See the ground yielding herbs instead of thorns and feel gratitude as if this new reality is already true.
