Neville Goddard on Numbers 13:32-33 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Numbers 13 in context

Scripture Focus

32And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.

33And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

Numbers 13:32-33

Biblical Context

The spies report evil about the land, focusing on giants and making their own size seem tiny by comparison. They see themselves as grasshoppers in their own sight and in the eyes of others.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the report is not about geography but about your inner state. The giants and the grasshopper image symbolize the hardened beliefs of limitation that you carry in the consciousness you call 'I'. When you dwell on 'what if I fail' and 'these conditions are too strong for me', you are actually surveying the land with the authority of lack. The land you search for stands as your own state of awareness—abundance, possibility, and the power to fulfill a desire. The men of great stature are the habits of thought that claim to rule you; the giants are fear-based stories that your attention feeds. To change the outcome, refuse to agree with the reported doom. Assume that the land is yours now, that you are the I AM who can dwell there. Imagination creates reality; by silently insisting, 'I am now in possession of the land' you redraw your inner map.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the report: 'The land is mine; I am the I AM.' Feel that ownership as real, and let that feeling persist as you carry on with your day.
