Neville Goddard on Genesis 36:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 36 in context

Scripture Focus

6And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob.

7For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle.

Genesis 36:6-7

Biblical Context

Genesis 36:6-7 shows Esau gathering his family and wealth and moving away from Jacob because their riches cannot be contained in the same land. The passage suggests an inner condition mirrored by outward separation, where abundance strains the unity of a single field of life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 36:6-7 presents a scene where Esau gathers his household and wealth and departs from Jacob because their abundance cannot be housed in the same land. In Neville's lens this is an inner drama: Esau is the state of wealth consciousness seeking room, while Jacob is the unity you seek. The outward migration is a symbol of inner friction between two recognized identities inside you. You do not need to choose one; awareness can hold both in a single field. When you affirm I AM as the creator, you revise the sense of separation by feeling that the land can bear the fullness you imagine. Do not chase circumstances; imagine and feel that you are already one with your wealth, that the land can bear your cattle, and that unity is your natural state. Persist in this feeling and the external show of division begins to dissolve, making way for a new arrangement that harmonizes abundance and relationship.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the feeling of oneness with wealth now—see yourself in a single land with all you desire. Hold that feel it real until the sense of separation dissolves.
