Echoes of Inner Voices

1 Corinthians 14:10-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 14 in context

Scripture Focus

10There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
11Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
12Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
1 Corinthians 14:10-12

Biblical Context

Paul says there are many kinds of voices in the world, each with meaning. When I cannot discern a voice's message, I keep myself and the speaker as barbarians; true aim is to edify the church through spiritual discernment.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the voices you hear are not external noises but states of consciousness shifting within you. The world is filled with signals, and each signal signifies a particular disposition of your awareness. When you say you do not know the meaning of a voice, you are not failing to decode an external language; you are admitting that your own inner state is not yet aligned with the unity you desire. In Neville fashion, realize that 'I AM' hears and interprets every signal; the speaker and the listener are one consciousness, and the barrier of barbarian is simply a memory of separation. To 'excel to the edifying of the church' is to practice a revision: assume that the message is designed to lift your inner church, to align your faculties toward love, wisdom, and unity. The gifts you seek are not attributes of another world but the manifestation of your settled conviction that all voices serve the same life and teach the same truth. When you interpret a voice as for edification, you release the energy and let it operate through you in harmony.

Practice This Now

In the next moment a voice arises, pause and ask what state of consciousness it reveals and how it edifies your inner church. Revise your assumption to 'this voice serves unity' and feel it real by mentally embracing the speaker as a facet of your own I AM, watching your interior church rise in harmony.
