Neville Goddard on Ruth 3:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ruth 3 in context

Scripture Focus

1Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?

2And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.

Ruth 3:1-2

Biblical Context

Naomi nudges Ruth to seek rest and notes Boaz, a kin, who will provide it. Ruth is pointed toward the threshing floor as the setting where that inner rest can be claimed.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ruth 3:1-2, through a Neville Goddard lens, is not a tale of external strategy but a map of inner state. Naomi’s question reveals that your Self desires a settled rest, a quiet assurance. Boaz—the kin—symbolizes the inner law or higher state within you that can grant protection when you choose to align with it in the present moment. The winnowing of barley at the threshing floor stands for the mind’s purification: separating truth from fear, substance from noise. The word 'tonight' signals immediacy—the moment you quiet outward chatter and yield to inner guidance. Your initiation is to fuse with this inner disposition, to accept rest as a current condition rather than a distant outcome, thereby activating loyalty and providence from within. When you consent to this inner covenant, outer circumstances follow suit, reflecting the rest already present in your I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and adopt the assumption: I am now resting in the rest that my I AM provides; envision the inner Boaz as a protective state taking the lead in my life, and allow the mind to winnow away doubt.
