Inner River of Life

Revelation 22:1-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Revelation 22 in context

Scripture Focus

1And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
5And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
Revelation 22:1-5

Biblical Context

The passage presents a river of life and a tree of life in the holy city, with healing leaves and no more curse. It centers on dwelling with God and reign that lasts forever.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the mystic sense, the river of life is not a mere stream of water but the continuous flow of consciousness that proceeds from the throne of God and the Lamb—the I am you are. This river runs through the street of your inner city and nourishes the tree of life, whose twelve fruits appear as you steady your imagination and release one complete state after another, month by month. The leaves of the tree are healing for the nations because your thoughts and feelings, when allied with divine light, heal collective fear and discord. The no more curse signals that the throne of God and the Lamb reside within you; when you are living from that inner throne, service follows as natural alignment with the divine will. Seeing His face is the recognition of your true identity as God’s beloved, with His name imprinted on your forehead as the sign of knowing. No night there means no absence of illumination; the Lord God lightens your inner world. When you perceive this inner kingdom, you reign forever and ever. Your outer world will reflect this inner state as you persist in the feeling of the wish fulfilled.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, imagine standing by a pure river flowing from your own inner throne, and see the tree of life with fresh fruit. Then affirm, I am the light and I reign with God now, and feel it as real.
