Keeper of My Inner Brother

Genesis 4:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 4 in context

Scripture Focus

9And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
Genesis 4:9

Biblical Context

God asks Cain where Abel is. Cain denies knowledge and asks, 'Am I my brother's keeper?', revealing a refusal to own responsibility for his relation to another.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse the 'brother' is not a separate person but a facet of your own consciousness. Abel represents the light, the life, and the love you either nurture or neglect within your inner world. Cain's evasive reply, 'I know not,' signals a mindset of separation—an insistence that responsibility for another's state lies outside the self. Neville would teach that you are always the keeper of every image you entertain; your reality is formed by the states you inhabit. The 'murder' of the narrative is the psychic death that follows when you disown the unity of life and pretend you are unrelated to another’s well-being. To awaken, revise the scene with a deliberate assumption: I AM the keeper of Abel within me; I accept full responsibility for every state of consciousness I entertain about another. As you keep this awareness, harmony begins to dissolve the illusion of separation and re-create your world from within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and envision a person you call a brother; say, I AM the keeper of Abel within me, and imagine taking full responsibility for this state until it feels real.
