Atad Threshold Of Inner Mourning

Genesis 50:10-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 50 in context

Scripture Focus

10And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
11And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
Genesis 50:10-11

Biblical Context

Genesis 50:10-11 tells of Jacob's family mourning at the threshing floor of Atad beyond Jordan; the inhabitants call it a grievous mourning to the Egyptians. The passage invites us to notice how inner states are named by others and how we might reinterpret that naming as invitation to transition.

Neville's Inner Vision

On the threshing floor of Atad beyond Jordan, this is not a place in time but the edge of your own consciousness. The sorrow you feel is the signal that an old state is leaving you; I AM invites you to treat it as a doorway, not a disaster. The seven days of mourning are an inner rhythm—an invitation to feel the full movement of the old self, to name it, and then release it into the nothing from which all forms arise. The locals’ phrase—this grievous mourning—exposes the mind’s habit of labeling inner shifts as catastrophe; you may revise that judgment and hear it as a sign of purification. Abel Mizraim, the mourning of Egypt, becomes the inner recognition that bondage is only a thought; as you cross Jordan, you awaken to a new state of being, unbound by the former image. The inner door lies open. Rest in the awareness that you are already the man or woman you seek, and let the old scene dissolve into the background while you dwell in the new I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, stand on the threshing floor of Atad in your imagination, and feel the old sorrow pass. Silently affirm, I AM that I AM; I have already crossed beyond Jordan into a new state.
