Neville Goddard on Ruth 3:10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ruth 3 in context

Scripture Focus

10And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.

Ruth 3:10

Biblical Context

Boaz blesses Ruth, praising her mature kindness and loyalty, noting she chose steadfast integrity over the pull of youth or wealth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ruth 3:10 becomes a map of the inner man. Boaz's blessing is not a historical verdict but the voice of the I AM acknowledging a state already formed in consciousness. Ruth's 'latter end' speaks of the fruit of a previous inner decision: kindness that does not chase youth, nor depend on circumstance, but rests in disciplined perception. When you read that she followed not young men, whether poor or rich, hear it as: you will not be led astray by dazzling appearances or the lure of circumstance. The inner self recognizes a faithful posture—lovingkindness rooted in the present awareness of God within. The blessing is God affirming your mature state, the self who acts from inner wealth rather than outer proof. Practice by returning to the feeling of the end you desire—the end of kindness, loyalty, and generosity—and identify with the inner Ruth who stands firm in the I AM, not swayed by externals. The more you dwell in that assured state, the more the outward scene will reflect it.

Practice This Now

Assume the state now: 'I am the one whose latter end is kind beyond measure.' Close your eyes and feel Ruth's steadfast kindness blossoming in you, and let blessing arise as a natural consequence of that inner state.
