Neville Goddard on Luke 13:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 13 in context

Scripture Focus

6He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

7Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

Luke 13:6-7

Biblical Context

In Luke 13:6-7, a man seeks fruit from a fig tree for years and finds none, signaling urgency and accountability for bearing what one is planted to produce.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the vineyard as the field of your inner life, and the fig tree as a pattern of being you continually nurture. When the owner finds no fruit, the message isn’t judgment but a call to revise your inner state. The three years symbolize repeated beliefs and habits that have not yielded your desired experience; the dresser’s mercy invites awakening. The fruit you seek is a state of consciousness—peace, health, love, purpose—felt as real as any outward result. To apply Neville’s method, assume you are the I AM, the watcher and creator, and revise the scene: I am the fruitful life now; this lack is removed by my inner assumption. Feel it as real, embody the sensation of your desired fruit, and let your inner story align with that feeling. The ‘cut it down’ moment dissolves when you realize you are the cause, not the effect; awareness bears fruit through inner transformation. Mercy becomes accountability: the lack signals a shift, not a punishment, and the dresser’s action becomes disciplined imagination that yields reality.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and revise the scene by declaring, 'I am the fruitful life now; this lack is finished,' then feel the sensation of already having the fruit and allow your life to reflect that inner abundance.
