Green Pastures of the I AM

Psalms 23:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 23 in context

Scripture Focus

2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
Psalms 23:2

Biblical Context

The verse describes being led into rest—green pastures—and into still waters, a setting of quiet protection and nourishment within the mind.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you is the I AM, and to be led to green pastures and still waters is not a journey to be undertaken outside, but a shift of consciousness. The 'he' who makes you lie down is your own awareness, the imagination that curates your inner scene. The green pastures symbolize a state of abundance and restfulness your attention can inhabit, a place where you cease striving and simply dwell in peace. The still waters represent a mind cleared of discord—a calm surface reflecting your true nature. When you entertain this vision, you are not seeking renewal; you are choosing to awaken to the renewal already present in consciousness. So you practice an assumption: I am now lying down in green pastures, and my mind is by still waters, guided by the I AM. As you hold this feeling—safe, supported, and directed by divine awareness—your inner movement aligns with thatness. Providence becomes your inner rhythm, not a distant event. Peace arrives as a natural state of being, and guidance follows the mood you cultivate within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly for 2 minutes, close your eyes, and declare: 'I am now lying down in green pastures; my mind runs beside still waters, guided by the I AM.' Then breathe and feel the scene as real.
