Neville Goddard on Genesis 31:43 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 31 in context

Scripture Focus

43And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?

Genesis 31:43

Biblical Context

Laban claims ownership of Jacob's daughters, children, and cattle, declaring all that Jacob sees as his. The scene frames possession as a contest between domination and rightful freedom.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville's lens, Laban’s boast is a projection of a state of lack pressed into form. The law of imagination shows that 'ownership' is only an appearance arising in consciousness, not a real external claim. The I AM behind every scene is the true owner, and wealth or provision are merely ideas that consciousness can revise. Jacob’s encounter with Laban mirrors the turning point when one refuses the belief that forms own us. By recognizing that all daughters, children, and cattle are images within the mind of God, we invite a shift from bondage to abundance. The moment you cultivate the awareness that you are the living I AM behind all appearances, the outer world aligns with that inner reality. The verse invites you to practice the discipline of revision: replace the sense of ownership by the sense of an all-sufficient, aware self, and let the outer scene reflect your inner pace of faith and generosity.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare: I am the owner of all I see; wealth and family are images of consciousness. Feel the reality of this inner ownership until the outside scene unconsciously follows.
