Abiding Fruit on the Inner Vine
John 15:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus declares the true vine and the Father as the gardener. Branches that do not bear fruit are removed; those that bear fruit are pruned to yield more fruit.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the Neville Goddard lens, the vine is your inner state of consciousness, and the branches are your thoughts, habits, and identifications. Fruit represents the natural expressions of your divine I AM when fully alive in awareness. The Father-as-husbandman is your own consciousness tending the inner garden by removing what blocks fruitfulness. When you experience emptiness or a sense of pressure, you are not being punished but arranged for a higher expression; pruning is the gentle adjustment of your inner setup so the next phase of life can emerge. The key is not striving to produce fruit but recognizing that you are already the vine in action; by affirming your unity with God, you invite the needed removals to take place. Pruning may feel uncomfortable, yet its purpose is to refine your sense of self until it aligns with the life that shines from the true vine. You are not becoming more; you are waking to the fact that your I AM is the source of all fruit, and every experience reflects that inner fruitfulness when you persist in this consciousness of oneness.
Practice This Now
In a moment of quiet, assume you are the vine in union with the Father. Revise a limiting belief by declaring, 'I AM the vine; my life bears fruit through me,' and feel the sense of pruning and flourishing as real.
