Neville Goddard on Genesis 41:8-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 41 in context

Scripture Focus

8And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.

9Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:

10Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:

11And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

12And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.

13And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.

Genesis 41:8-13

Biblical Context

Pharaoh's dream unsettles him; the magicians fail to interpret it, and the butler recalls a Hebrew youth who does; the interpretation comes true, restoring some and condemning others.

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 41:8-13 is not a tale about fortune tellers, but a drama of inner interpretation. The disturbance of Pharaoh's spirit calls forth all the magicians, the mental chatter that believes solution lies in clever words. Yet no voice outside can reveal the inner cause. The Hebrew youth represents your own latent I AM, the God within that interprets dreams in accord with your life’s true meaning. When you dare to interpret from that I AM, the dream's content becomes direction rather than fear: it shows what state you must inhabit to bring about the next scene. As Joseph speaks the right meaning, the mind aligns; the restoration of the one and the hanging of the other mark nothing external, but the shift of your inner state into alignment with a prosperous, guided design. The law at work is simple: determine the inner meaning, inhabit that state, and the outer circumstance follows the new reality. Your task is to read your own dreams with patience, trust the I AM, and let the revised meaning set the course of your life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Before bed, assume the role of the inner interpreter; say, 'I AM interprets this dream now' and feel the relief as the mind settles into a beneficial meaning that rearranges your inner state and invites corresponding outer changes.
