The Inner Supper Invitation
Luke 14:16-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Luke 14:16-18, a host invites many to a great supper, but those invited make excuses and decline. The parable invites you to examine your inner attachments to outer concerns and to notice what you are truly choosing in consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Luke’s parable is a portrait of consciousness. The great supper is the abundance, wholeness, and invitation always present in the I AM. The servant who proclaims 'Come; for all things are now ready' is your disciplined attention, the clear sense that you can shift in this moment from longing to recognition. The guests’ excuses—'I bought a piece of ground; I must go see it'—mirror the tendency to cling to outer concerns and postpone inner communion. In Neville’s terms, they are states of mind demanding proof before experience, never noticing that the feast resides in awareness itself. When you accept the invitation, you align with the awareness that there is no separation between feast and you—only the belief that you must complete some external task to deserve it. The cure is simple: revise, assume, and feel it real that 'all things are now ready' in your consciousness. Then the inner table becomes real, and the invisible projects into your life as if a banquet had already begun within you.
Practice This Now
Practice: sit quietly, revise the scene in your imagination by seeing the host, the prepared table, and you sitting in fullness; whisper 'all things are now ready' and let the feeling of abundance rise as your present state.
