Neville Goddard on Genesis 40:8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 40 in context

Scripture Focus

8And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.

Genesis 40:8

Biblical Context

They recount a dream and seek its meaning. Joseph asserts that God alone interprets and invites them to tell him the dream.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the story, the request for interpretation is not about some distant oracle; it reveals the truth you must learn: the source of meaning is your own I AM, the God within who is awake to every texture of your life. The men call a dream uninterpretable, and Joseph answers with a reminder that all understanding comes from the divine within. When you accept that interpretations belong to God, you stop handing your life over to external authorities and reclaim the role of aware observer. The dream does not predict your fate so much as illuminate the condition of your consciousness in the present moment. By turning your attention inward, you invite the inner interpreter to reveal the message that your current state requires for growth, healing, or guidance. Practice this as a daily stance: acknowledge the dream's meaning resides in the I AM, invite its translation, and revise your self-conception to align with that truth. Trust the process: as you listen within, the answer unfolds as guidance, direction, and promise.

Practice This Now

Practical act: Sit with a recent dream or mental image and state, Interpretation is of God Within; I now know the meaning. Then feel it real as the inner light reveals the message.
