Reuben's Inner Reflections and Quiet Will
Judges 5:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Judges 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Judges 5:16 portrays Reuben's divisions as an inner restlessness that shows up as he lingered among the sheepfolds, listening to the bleatings of the flock. The verse signals that inner searchings of heart arise when the mind settles in external sounds rather than its own inward leading.
Neville's Inner Vision
Reuben's divisions are the splits within your own consciousness—the moments you hesitate between action and rest, between your true lead and the chorus of common beliefs. The sheepfolds and their bleatings are not distant fields; they are the habitual thoughts that drown the single, clear voice of I AM. The great searchings of heart mark a turning point: you cannot serve two voices at once. The method is to revise your state and dwell in the one designed reality: I AM. When you refuse to abide with the crowd’s murmurs and instead assume the feeling of your fulfilled state, the divisions dissolve and your life aligns with inner promise. Your vocation takes form as you quiet the outer noise and abide in the consciousness that imagination creates reality. This is not struggle; it is a return to the quiet, authoritative I AM that directs every form.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling of the fulfilled state as your present reality; repeat, 'I am whole now, guided by I AM' until the sense of division dissolves. Then move in your day from that single sense of unity.
