Inner Planting, Harvest Within
Isaiah 17:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 17:11 contrasts outward growth with inner consequence. Planting and seed may flourish, yet the harvest becomes grief if our thoughts remain misaligned.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Neville Goddard mode, the plant you cultivate is a state of consciousness. The day you set your plant to grow and the morning you see the seed flourish are inner acts, not mere weather of circumstance. If your harvest becomes a heap of grief, that is your awareness misaligned with the Truth that you are the I AM, the observer who imagines and thereby creates. The verse warns against trusting external growth as proof of well-being; it tests the mind's ability to revise and reframe. When you notice sorrow rising, recognize it as a belief in separation from the abundance already present in your imagination. Begin now by assuming the state you desire as already real—see the field of your mind as fertile, feel the joy of the harvest now, and permit the 'grief' to dissolve in the light of your realized I AM. By consistently inhabiting the desired state, the outer scene rearranges to match the inner harvest.
Practice This Now
Imaginatively plant a seed of abundance now. Water it with the feeling that it already flourishes, and move through the day as the harvest is here.
