Inner Assembly for Edification
1 Corinthians 14:26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul describes a gathering where everyone provides a personal expression—psalm, doctrine, tongue, revelation, and interpretation—and all contributions are to serve edification. The goal is unity and uplift, not competition.
Neville's Inner Vision
In 1 Corinthians 14:26 the brethren represent the various states of consciousness within you. The psalm is your joyous idea; the doctrine is your guiding belief; the tongue is the spontaneous speech of your imagination; the revelation is inner insight that arises when awareness rests; the interpretation is discernment that harmonizes meaning. When you come together in the inner sense, these faculties do not clash but form a chorus under the one I AM, whose reality you are. The directive let all things be done unto edifying becomes a practical law for the inner theater: arrange your mind so each expression serves the whole, not the separate self. Edification is not external approval but the lifting of consciousness into alignment with wholeness. By assuming you host this inner assembly, you invite unity, balance, and the felt sense that all voices contribute and are governed by Love and Wisdom. Practice a conscious revision of lack until the edifying result feels real here and now.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Before meditation, assume you are hosting an inner gathering where each faculty—psalm, doctrine, tongue, revelation, interpretation—takes its turn and contributes to a single edifying chorus. Close your eyes, hear the voices, then rest in the felt unity of that inner edification as your true state.
