Healing the Inner Ground

Genesis 3:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 3 in context

Scripture Focus

17And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
Genesis 3:17-18

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.
