Inner Guarding of Benjamin

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard manner, the verse speaks not of a family incident but of states of consciousness. Benjamin becomes a portion of your being you choose to set apart in a safe harbor of inner life, while the rest of the mind proceeds. Jacob’s act of sending the brethren ahead while Benjamin remains symbolizes an inner choosing to shelter a part of you from the trance of fear where mischief appears to threaten. Fear of mischief is a belief in vulnerability; it dissolves the moment you, as I AM, assume a different truth: you are forever protected by an unassailable Presence. Dwell on the assumption that all your concerns—including Benjamin—are held in divine care, and you do not resist life but align with it. This is the practice of revision: re-desiring the inner structure so outer experience mirrors safety. So, assume the feeling: I AM guarding Benjamin now, and with that, all risk dissolves into the certainty of Providence, guiding your life in order and peace.
