Neville Goddard on Numbers 11:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Numbers 11 in context

Scripture Focus

5We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:

6But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.

Numbers 11:5-6

Biblical Context

The Israelites remember the abundant foods of Egypt, but now only manna remains, and they feel their souls dry, clinging to past pleasures rather than present nourishment.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this scene is a portrait of states of consciousness. The fish, cucumbers, melons, and all the onions of Egypt are not foods but memories; they symbolize a past identified with plenty that the mind imagines as real. The present manna represents the immediate supply of God in your life—the one food that your awareness feeds on when you trust the I AM. When the soul cries, there is nothing but this manna; it is not a lack in the world but a lack of imagination; the consciousness has fixed on a former state and refuses to dwell in the ongoing act of creation. The remedy is not to crave Egypt but to reidentify with the one I AM that is always now—source, order, and abundance. Rehearse a new assumption: I am sustained by the divine provision of the present moment; I now see all things through the lens of God’s abundance, and manna becomes enough. As you persist, your inner map shifts, and the dream of dried soul dissolves into the fullness of life.

Practice This Now

Assume and feel it now: I am sustained in the present abundance of God. Then revise a memory of Egypt by visualizing the current reward as manna and feel the reality of that state.
