Joseph's Inner Return

Genesis 37:29-30 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 37 in context

Scripture Focus

29And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
30And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?
Genesis 37:29-30

Biblical Context

Reuben returns to the pit, finds Joseph is not there, and tears his clothes. He asks where to go next after the loss.

Neville's Inner Vision

Reuben’s discovery that Joseph is missing mirrors the moment you awaken to a dream in your own mind and find it transiently absent from your outward world. The pit becomes a symbol of a lower state of consciousness where you have momentarily forgotten the inner seed. Joseph in you is the living idea of your future, your creative self; when you sense his absence you are not without power but called to revise. The cry, the child is not; and I whither shall I go invites you to turn away from external seeking and inward to the I AM — the unchanging awareness that gives form. If you persist in assuming the end is already done in consciousness, the inner movement resumes and your outer scene begins to reflect the inner fulfilled state. The trial is not punishment but a prompt to return to your true state, to trust the inner covenant that Joseph remains hidden until the mind declares him present. You are the dreamer, and the dream is already yours.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise: I AM the inner Joseph, and he returns now. Place your hand on your chest, breathe deeply, and feel the certainty of the end already done in consciousness.
