Inner Famine, Inner Return
Ruth 1:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ruth 1 in context

Biblical Context
In Ruth 1:1, a famine during the days of the judges drives a man and his family from Bethlehem to Moab.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here Ruth begins not with land nor law, but with your inner weather. The famine is a lack belief arising in the mind that sustains the outward scene. The man of Bethlehemjudah represents your core identity, the I AM that determines what you perceive as home. When he migrates to Moab with his wife and two sons, you are being shown the tendency to seek nourishment in distant places, thinking safety lies beyond your immediate consciousness. The judges' rule signals the periodic verdicts of thought that claim life is scarce. Yet in Neville's Bible—the inner drama—the invitation is to revise the entire scene from awareness: return is not geography but a return to your divine shore within. In your present state you can choose to acknowledge that the famine has no power over the I AM, that the land you inhabit is consciousness, and that your family, your life, is born of imagination. By imagining from the end—the abundance you already possess—you dissolve exile, restructure the scene, and awaken the sense of home that never left you.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the scene from I AM. Rest in the feeling that you are already home in Bethlehemjudah; famine dissolves as supply flows from the I AM, and your family remains safe in consciousness.
