Inner Soul Attachment and Kind Speech
Genesis 34:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 34 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse shows a man whose inner life clings to Dinah. His love expresses as a gentle, kind speech toward her.
Neville's Inner Vision
To read this through Neville’s lens, the 'soul' is a state of consciousness; 'clave unto' is the mind clinging to a desired quality until it becomes your immediate reality. The 'Daughter of Jacob' is your inner image of love itself—an ideal you choose to inhabit rather than a separate person. When you, in imagination, assume you already possess that beloved quality, the feeling of love and gentleness, you begin to speak and act from that state, so your words mirror the inner state. The act of clinging is not craving but a deliberate trust in the I AM within, the God within, which can enchant your life with mercy and right relations. You are not seeking to change the outside world but to awaken to your true state as love. Let the inner vision take precedence; let the world conform to your inner speech. The verse invites you to turn attachment into a creative, healing posture toward life, allowing mercy, dignity, and Imago Dei to manifest in form.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine your soul clinging to the desired good—an inner image of love—and speak to it gently, affirming that you are already that love now. Feel the truth of 'I am' as your own; let that feeling color your next moment.
