Rooting True Plants Within
Matthew 15:13-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus teaches that anything in your inner life not planted by the Father (your true I AM) will be uprooted; beware of blind teachers; following them leads you astray.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your Father is within as I AM—awareness itself. The 'plants' are the beliefs, feelings, and conditions you accept into your mind as real. When you entertain a thought that does not originate from this divine plant—this I AM—the inner soil yields it, and it will be uprooted by the inward law of consciousness, leaving space for what is truly planted by the Father to emerge. The command to 'root up' is not punishment; it is the natural ordering of your psyche by your own divine governor. The 'blind leaders of the blind' symbolize thoughts and influences you have accepted as guidance without inner assent. If you lean on appearances and others, you risk the ditch—because you and they are simply acting from a dream, not from divine illumination. To awaken, you affirm that only the I AM should rule your garden; you discern what beliefs you nourish, and you revise by feeling that the true plant is already there. As you dwell in this awareness, the unwanted grows weak and falls away, and the true harvest blooms.
Practice This Now
Practice: Sit quietly and declare, 'I AM the gardener of my consciousness; only what the Father planted remains.' Visualize your inner garden being weeded, uproot false beliefs, and allow the truth born of the I AM to take root.
