How We Raise the Dead
1 Corinthians 15:35 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse records a skeptic asking how the dead are raised and with what body they come. It invites deeper reflection on resurrection as a matter of consciousness rather than literal biology.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice the question as a pointer, not a puzzle about biology. Death, in this light, is a state of mind; resurrection is the shift of consciousness that changes the visible world after the inner change. When you ask, how are the dead raised up and with what body do they come, you are really inquiring about the kind of mind you inhabit. The body is only the outward symbol of your inner conviction. If you persist in imagining a life that is healed, awake, and joyous, that imagined state becomes your living reality and the form follows. The answer is not in the mechanics of flesh but in the quality of imagination you choose now. Thus, resurrection is now: a conversion in awareness that dissolves yesterday's tomb of fear and births a body in harmony with your renewed faith.
Practice This Now
Assume the risen self now: sit quietly, imagine the exact body you seek as already alive and well, and feel the surrounding life reflecting that state. Keep that feeling until it becomes your default sense of self.
