Naomi's Embrace Within
Ruth 4:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ruth 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Naomi takes the child into her arms and nurses it, symbolizing intimate maternal care and the blessing of family life.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the inner lens, Ruth 4:16 reveals that the child is a state of consciousness you are birthing in the soil of your own I AM. Naomi, not as a person apart but as your higher awareness, gathers the new possibility to her bosom and nourishes it with belief until it becomes stable form. The act of laying the child in her bosom is the moment you welcome the wish into the center of your being, where feeling and imagination unite. The nurse’s role shows that care, warmth, and continuous attention are the conditions by which a seed grows into reality. The themes of community and grace become inner communion: there is no outer accident, only your inner unity with the favored state you choose. By imagining this nursing, you affirm that your desire is already cared for by the I AM within you, and you permit it to mature into tangible expression. This is how the Ruth story becomes your own daily practice of faith, coherence, and abundance.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and imagine Naomi lifting the child to her bosom, feel the warmth and security; repeat, 'I AM that I am, and I already possess this blessing.'
