Neville Goddard on 1 John 2:27 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 John 2 in context

Scripture Focus

27But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

1 John 2:27

Biblical Context

The verse states that the anointing you received dwells in you, so you need not rely on external teachers; it teaches you all things and is truth, inviting you to abide in it.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse lies the quiet doctrine of the I AM: your awareness is the anointing that abides, not a borrowed voice. You are asked to trust the inner tutor that never leaves you, for the same light that taught the Apostles teaches you now, in your own consciousness. When you imagine, you are listening to the teacher within—the universal mind that speaks as your gut sense of truth. If you seek with the sense of lack, you’ll hear confusion; when you assume you already know, the inner teacher furnishes the answer in the moment you need it. The external 'teacher' fades into the scenery, because there is nothing outside your awareness to guide you. Abiding in him means remaining awake to the I AM, allowing each perception to be revised by the truth that is always present. This is not a denial of others, but a shift of center: truth comes from within, not from without, and your reality is a communion with that inner truth.
