Neville Goddard on Hebrews 7:4-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 7 in context

Scripture Focus

4Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

5And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

6But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

7And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

8And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

9And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

10For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

Hebrews 7:4-10

Biblical Context

Abraham gave a tenth to Melchizedek; Levi, though descended from Abraham, pays tithes; the text says the less is blessed by the better, and the one who blesses is alive.

Neville's Inner Vision

View this as an inner economy. Abraham is your higher perception, Melchizedek the Christ within, and Levi the residual memory of old states in your mind. When Abraham gives tithes to Melchizedek, you are invited to return a portion of your 'spoils'—your fears, doubts, and circumstances—to the higher Self. The act is not about outward money but about recognizing that your abundance comes from acknowledging a greater Reality within. The clause that Levi, still in Abraham, paid tithes in Abraham teaches that even future states are contained in your present act of devotion. The cry that the less is blessed by the better proclaims that blessing flows from your higher self into your current life; the one who blesses is alive, not a mere memory. Therefore, your living awareness, not external condition, fashions what you call wealth and provision. By aligning with the higher order, you empower your mind to become a fit receiver of the blessings already existing in consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, assume the I AM presence as the higher Self and picture Melchizedek lifting your concerns like spoils, receiving a tenth of your current burdens. Then feel the blessing flowing into you, as your consciousness declares, 'I am blessed now'.
