Inner Unity Beyond Names
1 Corinthians 3:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Two camps claim allegiance to Paul or Apollos, exposing the carnality of the church. The text invites a shift from names to shared consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this scene, Paul and Apollos are not persons but states of awareness you have identified with. The cry 'I am of Paul' or 'I am of Apollos' is your inner dialogue declaring allegiance to a particular image of yourself. Paul may symbolize bold action; Apollos, refined intellect; the danger is letting these images divide your inner kingdom. The apostle's question 'are ye not carnal?' reveals the choice: listen to the I AM, the watcher, the immortal you. When you identify with a state, you accept limitation; when you refuse, you rest in the I AM and see all images as temporary costumes. The feeling of unity arises when you revise your sense of self to the one, indivisible consciousness that animates all forms. Your world becomes a stage for one actor, the I AM, expressing as Paul or Apollos only as needed.
Practice This Now
Practice: Close your eyes and revise your inner speech: 'I am the I AM, beyond Paul and Apollos.' Then feel the oneness as you breathe.
