Inner Flight to Divine Guidance
Matthew 2:12-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Joseph and Mary are warned in a dream not to return to Herod, and they flee to Egypt, awaiting further word. The scene invites a Neville-style reading: dreams guide inward direction and protect the new life within.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the dream is not mere night talk but a state of consciousness. 'Being warned of God in a dream' is the I AM informing you of a change in your inner direction. The instruction 'not to return to Herod' signifies letting go of an old threat-pattern in your mind—the belief that you must stay where fear rules. Departing 'into their own country another way' is a shift of your attention, a relocation of life within, a movement from outward seeking to inward security. The command to 'flee into Egypt' points to Egypt as the inner sanctuary of the subconscious, where the newborn Life—your divine awareness—can grow free of external dangers. Standing there 'until I bring thee word' teaches patience and obedience: follow the inward word, not the outer impulse. Herod's intent to destroy the child represents the belief that your new life can be annihilated by old conditions; the protection comes through the inner directive, not force. By heeding the dream, you align with providence and guidance, discovering that the outer world you fear is a projection of your present inner state. The journey is internal: a revision and a deepening into a new state of consciousness until the Father within speaks again.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and hear the dream as the I AM directing you: revise your situation and move toward a deeper inner sanctuary as if fleeing to Egypt. Then stay there in feeling until the inner word confirms the next outward step.
