Inner Bread of Life

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville Goddard, this scene is not about bread at a table, but the bread of consciousness. The crowd asks for physical sustenance, and Jesus answers by claiming an inner supply that never fails. 'I am the bread of life' is a declaration of identity: your awareness itself is the living nourishment. To 'come to me' means to turn your attention from lack toward the indwelling I AM, and to 'believe on me' is to trust that your present state of consciousness is already supplied. Hunger and thirst are states of mind, not facts of the body; when you acknowledge the I AM as the basis of your being, you are fed by the certainty that all you need is present within. The bread is not outside you but within your being, ready to be realized by imagination and faith. When you live from that awareness, the appearance of scarcity dissolves, and fullness becomes your immediate experience. You become the nourishment you seek by assuming the truth of your eternal supply and feeling that truth as real here and now.
