The meek shall inherit the earth and all that jazz...
I thought it could be helpful for some folks here.
So here is Neville Goddard on what the word means to him and how he teaches it:

This entire text is actually about it but here is a snippet:
"Become the meek and the meek is the bold. The meek is the bold of heart who does not ask assistance. He walks knowing he can do it. He can fish. He can actually bring into subjection every bird of the air, every idea of the mind. He will begin to know these things spiritually. He will know them in the only way that you and I should know anything, by becoming it, not to have a world of information concerning objective things, and knowing these things only mentally. I must learn to know things spiritually; I must learn to know what love is spiritually by being in love. I must learn to know what security is spiritually be becoming conscious of already being secure. I must learn to know what health is by becoming conscious of already being healthy, and sustain these states in the name of righteousness, knowing that my righteousness shall answer for me in time to come. "

"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
In the original text, the word translated as meek is the opposite of the words, resentful, angry. It has the meaning of becoming "tamed" as a wild animal is tamed. After the mind is tamed, it may be likened to a vine, of which it may be said,
"Behold this vine. I found it a wild tree whose wanton strength had swollen into irregular twigs. But I pruned the plant, and it grew temperate in its vain expense of useless leaves, and knotted as you see into these clean, full clusters to repay the hand that wisely wounded it."
A meek man is a self-disciplined man. He is so disciplined he sees only the finest, he thinks only the best. He is the one who fulfills the suggestion,
"Brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things."
We rise to a higher level of consciousness, not because we have curbed our passions, but because we have cultivated our virtues. In truth, a meek man is a man in complete control of his moods, and his moods are the highest, for he knows he must keep a high mood if he would walk with the highest.

from Be What You Wish To Be, July 1951, Radio Talk KECA
When Neville talks about the mind as becoming "tamed" as a wild animal is tamed. After the mind is tamed, it may be likened to a vine.....
This always reminds me of Don Americo Ybar (https://speakingofseth.com/index.php?msg=19830) and S'alka the "undomesticated energy". Just look in a search for "don americo ybar undomesticated energy"
Here are some more videos of him :

St, thanks for that useful re-definition of "meek". That may be the original meaning. The history of the Christian Church is a history of distortion.

I laughed when I read that from him! It made so much sense to me! You are quite welcome
It was so freeing to understand things in this way because I never understood what that phrase meant lol
Putting it into context as a co creator it made all the difference to me that is for sure!
I also do not think "inheriting the earth" means that everyone else dies and us cocreators who are bold in this way are the only ones who live . I understand it today this far in my life as, "I live in a safe universe". I inherit all the joys and goodies because my life is mine and I form it. I create my worldy portions. Know what I mean? So we get to inherit the true Earth! When we are so bold!
Word Play: :-*
I just saw the word "inherit" in a totally new way as well. The actual word to me now says, "In Her, IT". As if to say, as Neville puts it, the sacred feminine, your Divine Imagination. To me the Sumerians refer to her as Ninhursag. "My beloved" with whom a divine child is born. The divine child being YOU. Your marriage of the Great I AM and its Divine power create a new YOU.
So, In her - IT.
THE IT.
The BE IT.
The Great House of many mansions. The tamed mind! Going where it wants when it wants HOW it wants. In a loving way!
Real love as a "living god" walks the Earth.
Anyway, thats my word play for the moment! lol
In Hebrew the word "beit" is the great house. And numerically, it is 25920, the great year.
BE IT.
Be the one who you have been waiting for all of your life. BE IT.
The great house could not be anything else but this great inner reality we bring forth into the appearance world. Souls in flesh indeed.
And... isnt it funny that to be tame and not wild you then mind.
And our mind is a past tense word of MINE. And our job is to get it to obey lovingly as a best friend and companion. MIND.
LOL ! That just came to me as well haha
I think this is where ahem... things got wonky telling women to mind the man lol
Thinking that because the imagination minds the Great I AM that so too also should the souls in flesh referred to as a female also do.
HA pish posh! We are all this I AMness and also imagination. Our I AMness is spontaneous, intuitive, impulsive, so many wonderful things! And to inject our thoughts of sperm into this awesome powerhouse womb called imagination, now that is an awesome action!
No wonder Seth says life is a constant orgasm!! Makes perfect sense to me!!
:P
Hmmm and you know what else? In Egyptian the word MER means "my beloved" and it is also a pyramid which is also a tetrahedron. And...... if you see the word P YRAM ID <--- this way
you will see that my beloved is pi'd (
encompassed by it I'd say!) AND in the center. And that there IS a FIRE in the center.
The inner fire! Pyr AMID
That.... is just " too 8) "
Like this picture: https://i0.wp.com/educationblog.oup.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Alchemist-image-2.jpgNow just see the tetrahedron/pyramid with its four corners touching the circle, and its tippy top coming right up out of the center of the circle. Like a 3d image not the one the link shows that is way 2d.
That is badass! The eye! hahaha
Anyway ... thanks for reading my word play.
A OK
