Leaven of the Mind Unveiled

1 Corinthians 5:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 5 in context

Scripture Focus

6Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
1 Corinthians 5:6

Biblical Context

Paul warns that a little leaven, a small seed of sin or pride, will spread through the whole. The message calls for holiness and separation to maintain purity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your glorying is not good. In Neville's tongue, this is a notice that a boasting attitude is a mental condition, not an external event. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump translates to a single belief in separation or superiority seeping into every thought, feeling, and decision. The lump is your entire state of consciousness, and the leaven is a small conviction you take as true. When you dwell on pride, fear, or judgment of others, you are baking with that leaven. Yet you are always free to switch the recipe. The answer is an inner revision: assume the I AM now, the one consciousness that fills the loaf, and treat misbelief as finished. See the entire lump made holy by your declared unity with the divine order. In this way you judge the state, not the world; you become accountable to your own inner standard and watch it transform. Your practical job is to keep the mind clean by refusing to glory in lack and by constantly returning to the felt sense of oneness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: For a few minutes, close your eyes and see your mind as a loaf. Detect a tiny crumb of pride or fear and revise it by declaring the I AM is whole, and feel the entire loaf becoming holy.
