Neville Goddard on Ruth 2:18-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ruth 2 in context

Scripture Focus

18And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.

19And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.

Ruth 2:18-19

Biblical Context

Ruth brings her gleaned grain to Naomi and shares how she worked; Naomi asks where she gleaned and who helped, and Ruth names Boaz as the man.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ruth's gleaning is a state of consciousness gathering nourishment from the field of life. Naomi represents your inner counsel, asking where you set your attention today; Ruth's answer, 'the man with whom I wrought is Boaz,' is the inner recognition that a channel of supply has appeared. Boaz stands for Providence made concrete in form—a name your awareness can rest upon as the source of grace. When you name Boaz in your inner circle, you are not recounting a tale but remembering the law of possibility: your faithful acts draw returns into visible form. Naomi's blessing—the declaration that 'he who knew Ruth' is honored—affirms the inner witness that revelation has already taken root in consciousness. In Neville's view, every outer event is a movement of the inner self: you glean what your inner world has prepared, and the naming of Boaz marks the moment of recognition that supply resides within your I AM. Practice: cultivate the belief that your inner guidance has already identified your source of support, and dwell in gratitude as if it is already yours.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine Naomi as your inner counsel asking, 'Where did you glean today?' Then answer, 'Boaz'—the inner source of your supply—and feel the gratitude as if it has already arrived.
