Inner Fields of the Kingdom

Matthew 13:36-43 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 13 in context

Scripture Focus

36Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 13:36-43

Biblical Context

Plainly: the world is the field and the good seed are the children of the kingdom, while the tares are the children of the wicked one. At the end, judgment separates the true from the false, and the righteous shine.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, listen: the parable is spoken to your awareness. The field is the world you inhabit in consciousness; the good seed are your true states—the children of the kingdom you already are. The tares are the mis-taken beliefs about yourself—the deeds of the wicked one you have outgrown in imagination. The enemy who sowed them is the mind clinging to separation; the harvest is the moment your awareness dwells in truth long enough to separate the seed from its weeds. The end of this world is not a catastrophe but a turning of attention from illusion to fact: you awaken to the fact that the Son of Man is the I AM within you. The angels—the inner faculties of perception—gather out what offends in your kingdom, and cast it aside as you cease feeding it with belief. The righteous then shine forth as the sun in their Father's kingdom, because you have chosen the seed over the weed. Let the parable awaken your imagination: you are the sower, you are the field, and you are the harvest.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the seed state now: 'I am the good seed in the field of the world.' Hold the feeling and revise any weed-like thought by saying 'That thought is not mine; I release it and return to the seed.'
