Neville Goddard on Luke 12:13-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 12 in context

Scripture Focus

13And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

14And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

15And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

Luke 12:13-15

Biblical Context

A man asks Jesus to divide an inheritance, but Jesus reframes the issue as a matter of inner life. He warns that life does not consist in the abundance of possessions, urging vigilance against covetousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Luke 12:13-15 places you before a request about money, yet the real problem is your state of consciousness. The brother’s plea mirrors the old habit of believing life comes from external things. Jesus’ refusal to adjudicate is an invitation to see that no outer division can grant you what your inner I AM already provides. Covetousness is not merely a vice; it is a misperception that makes your life consist of possessions rather than awareness. In truth, your wealth is the living sense of being—an ever-present inner provision that remains intact whether the shelf is full or empty. When you awaken to this, the demand for more softens; your mind rests in the certainty that provision flows from the eternal I AM within. Practice by returning your attention to awareness and affirming, I am complete; I lack nothing; I have all that is mine to know and experience.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and assume the feeling 'I AM' is the source of all you need; visualize your inner estate as complete now, and feel gratitude. Let any impulse to compare with others' inheritance dissolve into the certainty of inner provision.
