Rock of Inner Foundation
Matthew 7:24-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage presents two builders: the wise man who hears and acts on Jesus' sayings, founding his house on a rock, and the foolish man who hears but does not act, building on sand. When the storms come, the rock stands, the sand collapses.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your life is a translation of your inner state. The 'rock' is the fixed awareness of I AM, the state you hold while listening to these sayings. When you hear and then align your inner feeling with the truth you proclaim, you lay a foundation that can endure any inner weather. The storms—the rains of doubt, the floods of lack, the winds of fear—pull at the surface, but a consciousness that remains anchored in the assumed reality of your goal will not tremble. This is why Jesus speaks with authority, because he embodies a state from which outer conditions cannot redefine him. So you are invited to cultivate that authority within: hear, revise, and hold the assumption that your wish is already realized, regardless of appearances. Then every outward event becomes the echo of your inner structure, not its cause. The entire parable is a reminder that reality is consciousness first, and action follows from the rock you believe you stand upon.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Tonight, close your eyes, declare 'I am the rock of my life,' and imagine your goal already secured. Stay with the feeling of completion until it feels real, then carry that assurance into your day.
