The Gentle Yoke Within
Matthew 11:29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus invites you to take his yoke and learn from him. His meekness and lowliness bring rest to the soul.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the verse as a conversion of your inner state. The yoke is not a burden but an alignment you consent to, the moment you acknowledge that the Christ I AM is expressed as your awareness. To learn of me is to study the pattern I already live as your true self: meekness, lowliness, quiet power. In this inner life, rest is not escape but the natural cadence when you stop straining and yield to the harmonious order of your being. When you imagine yourself as one with the I AM, you drop the weapons of striving and discover a stillness that heals the mind. The \"yoke\" becomes a gentle cooperation with divine idea, and rest springs from this unity. You are not less; you are more awake to your true state, the child and the teacher in one dream. Practically, assume the mood of meekness, and watch how every thought calms into a clear, restful present.
Practice This Now
Imaginative practice: close your eyes and assume the state 'I am meek and lowly in heart.' Feel rest arising as your present condition; revise every impulse to force or struggle until peace becomes your natural answer.
