Seed of the Inner Kingdom

Matthew 13:31-32 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 13 in context

Scripture Focus

31Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
Matthew 13:31-32

Biblical Context

The kingdom begins as a tiny seed in the heart. When tended in consciousness, it grows into a sheltering, expansive inner life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the parable does not speak of God as distant or future, but of a seed planted in the soil of your own awareness. The kingdom of heaven is your I AM, the living assumption you hold about what is true. The mustard seed, described as the least of all seeds, points to the humble starting belief you accept about yourself and the world. When you dwell in that belief with steady attention, it grows, not by force of external circumstance, but by the law of inner revision: the inner state precedes and governs outer events. The branches that rise are the extensions of your consciousness; the birds that lodge there are the ideas, opportunities, and relationships that align with the inner lamination. As you imagine the seed taking root, you become the sower who does not strain the soil but tends it with quiet wonder. Let this be a practice of faith: assume the presence of the Kingdom now, feel it as real, and refuse to confess lack. In time, the world around you will reflect the vitality of your inner tree, and you will know unity with all life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and plant the seed in your mental field, silently saying, I AM the sower and the seed. Feel it sprout; imagine the branches thickening and birds seeking shelter there, restored by your inner life.
