Bowing To The Inner Earth
Genesis 48:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 48 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Joseph draws his family out and bows his face to the earth, a symbolic gesture of reverence and humility before the divine presence.
Neville's Inner Vision
Genesis 48:12 invites us to notice the posture of the mind, not merely a gesture of Joseph. 'Between his knees' signifies the inner seat of rest where awareness gathers itself; from that seat a revelation is brought forth. When Joseph brings them out and bows to the earth, you are being guided to realize that true power arises from surrender to the I AM. The earth is not a place, but the ground of your own consciousness—the present moment where imagination yields form. Humility and meekness are not weakness, but the disciplined alignment of desire with the divine presence within. In this light, every blessing is an inner agreement: you consent to your inner I AM as the source of all occurrence, and the outer display follows that recognition. Practice the stance of bowing in imagination: acknowledge the Self as your rightful King, and let the world bow to the awareness you choose to endure. Obedience to that inner presence sustains faithfulness in all behavior.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the inner kneeling. Then imagine bringing your life out from that seat and bowing to the earth of awareness, affirming 'I AM' as the source.
