Neville Goddard on Ruth 3:4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ruth 3 in context

Scripture Focus

4And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.

Ruth 3:4

Biblical Context

Ruth follows Naomi's plan by approaching Boaz at night, signaling her willingness, and awaiting his instruction. The scene highlights obedience, humility, and covenant loyalty in a moment of vulnerability.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ruth 3:4, in Neville’s language, invites me to see how every scene of the mind is a state. Boaz stands as my higher self, the unconditioned I AM, the law of my life. Ruth’s act is a motion of my own consciousness stepping toward the ground of belief, marking the place where I am resting. To uncover his feet is to uncover the foundation—the beliefs I have kept hidden in shadows—that must be brought to the light of awareness. When I lay myself down, I am surrendering the ordinary thinking, yielding to the inner guidance that speaks as a quiet assurance. The instruction I receive is not from an external man but from the inner law that says, You are already protected, you are redeemed, you are provided for. The covenant loyalty is my fidelity to that inner truth, expressed as present action when the moment calls. Ruth’s humility is my discipline; I am willing to be led by the right feeling. I am now aligned, and the life arrangement shifts as consciousness honors the inner I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, relax, and in the quiet base of your awareness picture your higher self resting there; affirm, 'I am guided and provided for,' and let the next right action come to you as a felt-sense knowledge.
