Carried by the I AM

Numbers 11:11-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Numbers 11 in context

Scripture Focus

11And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
12Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
13Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
15And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
Numbers 11:11-15

Biblical Context

Moses laments the heavy burden of leading the people and asks why he has been afflicted, even praying to be killed if relief cannot be found. He likens his task to a nursing father carrying the people and complains he cannot supply flesh for all.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville's mind, Moses is not a man exhausted by external duties but the inner self under the illusion of separation from the all-sustaining I AM. The 'servant' is the ego-consciousness convinced it must do everything alone; the 'people' are the pressing demands of circumstance; the 'burden' is a thought-form born of forgetfulness of unity. The cry 'kill me' expresses the fear that consciousness will collapse when it forgets its source. Neville teaches that God is the I AM—awareness that never leaves itself. The healing move is to revise the scene by assuming a state in which you are already supported and carried. The image of being carried 'in thy bosom' is a symbol that you are never separated from divine care; the inner nourishment you seek is supplied by awareness itself. When you rest in that truth, the appearance of burden dissolves and energy returns to your work as natural expression of being. The inner scene becomes the engine of action rather than its tyrant; the day you repeat and feel, 'I am carried by the I AM,' you step into effortless faith and a renewed sense of vocation.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and revise the scene: 'I am carried by the I AM.' Visualize the divine arms lifting the burden from your shoulders and feel relief flowing through you.
