Inner Manasseh: Forgetting Past Toil
Genesis 41:51 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 41 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Joseph names his son Manasseh, saying that God has caused him to forget all his toil and his father's house. It marks a turning point of release from past burdens through divine intervention.
Neville's Inner Vision
What is cast here as a name is a state of consciousness. Manasseh becomes your inner memory-bank cleared of toil and the old house of conditioning. God’s act—‘for God’—is the I AM within you rearranging the script, so you no longer dwell in burdens or ancestral claims. In this moment, Providence isn’t distant governance but your own realized awareness guiding you to forget the past as a limitation and to step into the present feeling of grace. When you entertain this, you awaken faith and trust that mercy accompanies the new state; you experience favor not as a reward but as an inner alignment with your true self. The verse invites you to cultivate inner freedom, where past difficulties dissolve under the gentle authority of awareness, and you proceed with confidence, unbound by memory but richly guided by source.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and repeat, 'I am Manasseh' while imagining God as the I AM quietly erasing the memory of toil and old ties; feel the relief and step forward in faith as if the future is already made known.
