Inner Prison of Destiny
Genesis 39:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 39 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Joseph is placed in prison, a scene of apparent captivity. Neville would read this as a symbolic moment where outer conditions press the inner state, yet the Self remains free.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Genesis narrative, the scene of Joseph in prison is not about bricks and bars, but about your own consciousness. The master who binds him stands for the outer conditions you accept as real; the prison is a state of mind you entertain when you doubt your I AM. Yet the king's prisoners lie within you; the inner king—the true You in God—cannot be sealed by any jail. The story does not declare final despair but places Joseph on a stage in a larger drama of providence. Remember the law of imagination: you become what you assume to be. If you cling to limitation, you prolong the scene; if you revise and assume your true end, you awaken to the freedom already present in consciousness. Providence then guides your inner movements toward release, which has always existed as your essential Self, even when the outer scene seems to hold you captive.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise: 'I am unbound now; this prison is only a belief in my mind.' See the inner Self stepping from the cell into the bright air of freedom.
