Neville Goddard on Luke 15:11-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 15 in context

Scripture Focus

11And he said, A certain man had two sons:

12And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

Luke 15:11-12

Biblical Context

The scene shows a younger son asking for his inheritance, signaling a move toward external wealth. The father divides his living, setting the inner stage for the journey that follows.

Neville's Inner Vision

Luke 15:11-12 is not a history to be argued, but a map of consciousness. The two sons are two states of your mind. The younger son’s demand for the portion reveals your belief that life and wealth come by taking from another, by making your own independence from the one Father within. The father who divides his living is the I AM, the consciousness that allocates energy to the two attitudes: wanting and lacking versus trusting and possessing. When you identify with the younger, you imagine you must possess 'goods' externally to be complete, so your energy is dispersed, and you suffer the consequences of separation. Yet the inner truth remains: the wealth you seek is already within. The division is not a catastrophe but a moment of choosing to awaken to your wholeness. The prodigal's journey back to the father is your return to the awareness that all provision flows from consciousness, not from outward circumstances. When you stop chasing goods outside and align with the I AM, you are in the home that never left you; the inner kingdom is the only inheritance you ever truly possess.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine you are the Father within, calmly handing your younger self his portion as inner wealth. Then feel that you already possess it and live from that certainty today.
