Inner Bond, Inner Father

Genesis 44:22-23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 44 in context

Scripture Focus

22And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
23And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
Genesis 44:22-23

Biblical Context

Genesis 44:22-23 shows the family pleading that the lad cannot leave his father, and that unless the youngest brother comes, they will not see the lord's face. It centers on the binding power of attachment and the conditions placed on fulfillment.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage the lad is a state of consciousness bound to its Father, the I AM. The father's life represents the sustaining power of awareness. The demand that the lad stay and that the youngest brother accompany them illustrates a mental condition: the seeming necessity of external conditions for realization. Neville's reading teaches that you dissolve such conditionality by assuming the end in mind. When you inhabit the truth that the I AM holds all parts of your being, the lad remains with the Father and the face you seek manifests as a natural expression of that unity. The presence of God is the uninterrupted awareness here and now; the supposed barrier dissolves as you revise to include every aspect of yourself within the wholeness of consciousness. See your life from the I AM: every state, every desire, every relationship, already included in the one reality called you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine the I AM as the Father within you. Reassure yourself that the lad (your latest desire) is not separate from the Father; revise mentally: All parts of me are present now, and I see my face in the Kingdom of my own consciousness.
