Seed Under the Clods Within
Joel 1:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joel 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Joel 1:17 depicts agricultural ruin—seed rotten, granaries empty, barns broken—signaling a desolate condition that mirrors inner states of lack or judgment.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Joel's corrosion of grain I answer with the I AM. The seed that rotted beneath the clods is not a history but a state of consciousness refusing fullness. When you believe you are barren, your inner harvest dries; when you fear punishment or want, your granaries, stores of energy and joy, collapse. Neville's method asks you to reverse the scene: acknowledge that you are the ruler of your inner weather and that your imagination can restore growth. Imagine the seed waking, the soil yielding, and the barns brim with corn—not by pleading for external change, but by picturing and feeling the fulfilled state as already present. Enter the feeling of the wish fulfilled, revise the memory of lack, and dwell in the awareness that your awareness itself is the cause. In this, desolation becomes a doorway to a conscious shift, and justice is simply the alignment of your inner state with abundance.
Practice This Now
Practice immediately: sit quietly, declare 'I AM abundance now,' and revise the scene so the seed sprouts and the barns brim. Then feel the fullness as the inner vision grows real.
