Inner Unity at the Table
1 Corinthians 11:17-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul rebukes their gathering, saying it harms the church: divisions and selfish eating spoil the Lord's Supper, leaving some hungry and others drunk.
Neville's Inner Vision
Do you see, friend, that Paul's complaint is not merely about a bad table, but a misalignment of inner states? The church you see outside is the outward sign of what you carry within. When you imagine 'us' and 'them' at a table, you are tasting separation in your own awareness. The so-called heresies among you are the subtle beliefs you still loyalty-test to prove your worth. The moment you take your seat on the left while another is hungry on the right, you are really hungry for a sense of importance, and the cup becomes a symbol of personal satisfaction. The cure is not social rearrangement but a new inner arrangement: behold the one body, the one loaf, the one Lord within your own I AM, and know that all are fed. As you revise this inner scene and feel it real, the inner movements shift; the outer gathering becomes one place, one purpose, one nourishment. Rest in the realization that unity is a state of consciousness you already inhabit.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and say, 'I am the I AM; there is one body, one table, one life in me now.' Then revise any scene of division by seeing every person as part of you at the same feast, and feel the nourishment as real.
