Inner Permission Verse Insight

1 Corinthians 7:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 7 in context

Scripture Focus

6But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
1 Corinthians 7:6

Biblical Context

Paul says this guidance is given by permission, not as a binding command. It points to inner freedom rather than external law.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of your life as a field where every command carries the weight of a law. Paul’s remark—'I speak this by permission, and not of commandment'—is not a rejection of wisdom, but a disclosure of the way reality is shaped: by the state of consciousness you entertain. In the I AM you, the Creator of your experience, there is no decree that binds you to a future you do not consent to. The speaker does not bind you with obligation; he offers a permission slip from the inner governor of your being. When you accept it, you stop fighting the appearance of your life and begin to revise it from within. The distinction between command and permission dissolves as you realize every circumstance reflects your inner posture. If you desire a different tone in any relationship or situation, assume that it is already granted—imagine and feel the state as your current fact, not as a wish awaiting proof. Your imagination is the law; your feeling is the seal; your awareness is the witness who declares, 'It is done in consciousness.'

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled for your desired inner state. Rest in that state with your eyes closed for a few minutes, and let it be your present reality.
