Neville Goddard on Luke 2:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 2 in context

Scripture Focus

6And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

7And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

Luke 2:6-7

Biblical Context

Luke 2:6-7 describes Mary delivering her firstborn and laying him in a manger because there was no room in the inn.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the birth occurs not in the crowded inn but in the humble manger, symbolizing that the Christ within awakens only when the outer sense is quiet. In this interior scene, 'no room' means the mind has believed itself crowded with appearances and lack; yet the I AM—your true awareness—remains undisturbed, ready to deliver when you withdraw identification from the external theater. The baby is your royal I AM, not a person, but your state of consciousness arriving as a newborn certainty. To Neville, delivery is a revision of self: imagine wrapping the inner child in swaddling of faith and laying it in the manger of quiet attention. Feel the humility of the moment not as poverty but as pristine receptivity, where the divine presence takes residence and the world’s clutter yields to stillness. When you claim there is room in your mind for this birth, you align with the Kingdom of God, and salvation unfolds as a natural shift of consciousness from lack to fullness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume, 'I am the delivery of the Christ within now.' Visualize a manger in the heart, the inner child swaddled in faith, and rest there as the sense of true being expands. Repeat until it feels real.
