Gad’s Inner Sons
Genesis 46:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 46 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse names Gad's seven sons, a catalog that points to inner states of your consciousness. It invites you to see how these internal dispositions shape your life.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within your dream of life, Gad's seven sons—Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, Areli—are not merely names but seven facets of your I AM awareness. Each 'son' marks a movement of consciousness you entertain: attention, steadiness, cheerful energy, strength, truth, covenant loyalty, and a sense of origin. When you acknowledge Gad as the tribe of fortune within you, you recognize that your outer world reflects the harmony or discord among these states. Neville's law is simple: imagination creates reality. Therefore, you do not change people or events; you shift the inner condition, and everything else follows. See these seven states as a single, organized inner family, kin to the one I AM. By centering in the feeling of unity and covenant—'I am one mind, one life, one living church within me'—you align your life with their harmonious ruling. Your so-called fortune arises where you hold these selves in a loving, united embrace.
Practice This Now
Choose one inner state to inhabit now (for example, unity). Assume you are that state at this moment, and feel all seven states gently aligning into one harmonious consciousness.
