Hedge of Inner Blessing

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard perspective, the hedge is not a boundary in space but the vibrational boundary of your own consciousness. The I AM is the hedge—your awareness surrounding your life, your house, and your possessions. When you entertain the conviction that all you are and have is blessed and protected by your inner state, you discover that the so-called 'outside' moves in harmony with that state. Job's prosperity is a symbolic waking dream: the work of his hands flourishes because his imagination has been consciously aligned with grace and favor. The blessing is not something 'done to' him but something he freely assumes in the I AM. The presence of God is the felt sense of awareness itself, not a distant person but the I AM surrounding you on every side. Practice is to assume you already possess the hedge, to revise any sense of lack, and to feel the wealth as your current reality, not a future possibility. In this way, the verse becomes a manual for inner discipleship: your outer world reflects the state you actively imagine.
