Humble Knowing of Self
1 Corinthians 8:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse says that claiming to know something reveals you do not know it as you ought to. True knowing is humility and ongoing inquiry.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville lens, the verse reveals a liberating truth: knowledge is a state of consciousness, not a trophy in memory. If you think you know something, you are living in that narrow state and you know nothing as you ought to know. The 'knowing' you claim is a boundary you have drawn around your becoming. Therefore, the invitation is to revise: 'I know nothing as I ought to know,' and to feel that you are already the I AM, the awareness that knows through you. When you assume a larger self, your imagination must align with that inner state; events in your world will reflect your inner conviction. Humility is not denial; it is the opening through which truth may flow. As you practice imagination with the feeling that you are the I AM, the sense of separation dissolves and knowledge arrives as a fresh sight, not a possession. This is the Christian mystic's discipline: surrender to inner consciousness and let your I AM reveal understanding rather than chase it with intellect.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and say, 'I know nothing as I ought to know.' Then feel the I AM guiding insight as you imagine yourself already knowing more.
