Milk to Meat Awakening
1 Corinthians 3:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul says he fed the Corinthians with milk, not meat, because they were not yet able to bear deeper teaching; their inner capacity was immature and ongoing growth was required.
Neville's Inner Vision
Milk and meat are not foods but levels of inner appetite. You are not condemned for feeding on milk; you are being prepared for the meat as your consciousness expands. The I AM within you is the cook; when you align with the feeling that you already possess the deeper truth, your capacity grows. The shift from milk to meat happens as you practice the discipline of assumption: act as if you already know the greater truth, and let your inner awareness rise to meet it. This passage is a gentle reminder that you are always in the process of becoming the vessel that can hold higher truth. Your life becomes the digestive tract of your consciousness; with consistent faith and revision, the inner truth you can bear increases, until the meat is eaten with ease and clarity.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and assume the inner conviction, 'I am ready to receive the deeper truth.' Feel the certainty as a vivid sensation in your chest, and revise one limiting belief to align with that truth by stating, 'I now understand deeper truth and am capable of bearing it.'
