Quiet Balance of the I AM
1 Corinthians 7:30 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse invites detachment: sorrow, joy, and possessions are to be experienced without letting them define you. It invites you to inhabit the inner witness rather than be defined by appearances.
Neville's Inner Vision
That verse invites you to dwell in the constant I AM while the theater of sensation plays out. You weep, and you weep as if the lament could touch your eternal being; you rejoice, and you rejoice as if the ecstasy could define your forever; you buy, and you buy as if you possessed not the ripple of time. In truth, you are the observer, the unfading consciousness that matters, and all phenomena are merely shapes your imagination has cast upon the screen. When you identify with the inner witness, you do not resist feeling; you revise the feeling by assuming a new state, one of unconditioned awareness. Wealth, sorrow, or joy do not govern you; you govern them by the act of imagining from the end: you are already the state you seek, the I AM looking through the forms. The world adjusts as you adjust your inner atmosphere, for reality is the embodiment of your inner conviction. So, choose to stand in the unshakeable I AM and let appearances follow.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume the state of unchanging awareness you wish to inhabit. Let that feeling radiate into any sorrow, joy, or purchase you encounter today.
