Neville Goddard on 1 Corinthians 11:27-29 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 11 in context

Scripture Focus

27Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

29For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

1 Corinthians 11:27-29

Biblical Context

Paul warns that taking the Lord's Supper without inner alignment makes the act self-damaging; by examining oneself, one can partake in true recognition of the Lord's body. The exhortation to self-examination points to honoring the inner unity of Life within.

Neville's Inner Vision

What is called the body and blood in this text is not a distant ritual but the living body of your I AM as consciousness. To eat or drink unworthily is to pretend you are separate from that Life, forgetting that the Lord's body is the unity of all you are and all you behold. When you live in judgment, fear, or attachment to appearances, you separate yourself from the single Life you call God within. The remedy is not external zeal but a deliberate revision of your state of mind: see yourself as already whole, acknowledge the inner body of Christ that animates every breath, and align your thoughts with that truth. The self-examination is an invitation to return to the awareness of unity, to release the belief that you are other than the One Life. In reinstated consciousness, to partake becomes a thanksgiving that you and the Lord are one.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, affirm 'I AM,' revise any sense of separation, and visualize the bread and cup as the same Life within you. Feel it real that you are the Lord's body now, partaking from a single consciousness.
