Inner Spirit, Inner Discernment
1 Corinthians 2:12-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage declares we have received God's Spirit, not the world's, so we can know what God freely gives. It also says worldly wisdom cannot grasp spiritual truths; true discernment comes from the Spirit.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner theater, you awaken to a state greater than belief in the world’s chatter. Paul tells you that you have exchanged the spirit of the world for the Spirit of God, so you might know the things freely given to you. This is not information learned by man’s clever speech, but revelation poured into your awareness by the Holy Spirit. To the natural man these things appear as foolishness, yet to your true self—your I AM, your living consciousness—they unfold as your lived reality. The key is to compare spiritual things with spiritual, not by the mind’s logic, but by inward discernment: practice turning your attention from outer noise to the silent, knowing presence within. When you inhabit the state of God-consciousness, the gifts already yours become obvious as your own remembered capacity. Your imagination is not a tool to persuade others but a faculty through which you receive what is freely given by God. Rest there, confident that the divine idea within you is your immediate perception of truth.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the God-spirit state as your present reality: I am within the Spirit, I know the freely given things. Then revise any lack-based thought and feel the truth as already true.
