Inner Signs, Outer Wisdom
1 Corinthians 1:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse notes two groups seeking proof in the external world: Jews want a sign, Greeks seek wisdom. It invites turning from outer signs to the inner knowing that is the I AM.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, these words announce not a debate about men's standards, but a shift of attention from outward signs to the God of your own I AM. The Jews demand a sign as proof in the outside world; the Greeks chase wisdom as if understanding were somewhere apart from you. Yet sight reveals that all so-called signs and wisdom are but images within your consciousness, arising when you acknowledge the one reality that never changes: you are awareness, the I AM. When you live from that awareness, every event in your life becomes a sign of your inner state—your understanding grows not by argument, but by immersion in the sense 'I exist as the truth you seek.' Your imagination becomes the laboratory where the sign manifests and wisdom is felt as certainty, not as a distant theory. You are not waiting for proof; you are the proof, the perceiver who creates perception by assuming the end and feeling it real.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the I AM as your own consciousness. Imagine a subtle sign or the felt presence of wisdom accompanying you, and stay with that sensation until it feels real.
