Neville Goddard on Hebrews 11:5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 11 in context

Scripture Focus

5By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

Hebrews 11:5

Biblical Context

Enoch’s faith moved him into a new life-state, so he did not experience death. The record says God translated him because his life pleased God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Enoch's change of state is not a far-off event but a pattern you can reenact in your own consciousness. Faith here is not mere belief about the future; it is the decision to dwell in the I AM, to align with the inner Presence that translates a life into a higher order. When we read 'translated,' hear it as a moving of your whole awareness beyond the old sense of limitation. God is not outside you; God is the I AM in you, the witness and mover of every inner event. If Enoch pleased God, your equivalent is to please your own I AM by obeying the leading of stillness and imaginative power. In that agreement, the sense of death or lack dissolves, and you walk as one whose life is already there in the present, awaiting your recognition. The cliff of time collapses when you assume the state and feel its reality.
