Inner Silence Through Well-Doing
1 Peter 2:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Peter 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states that God's will is for you to do good in order to silence the ignorance of foolish people. It links righteous behavior to quieting outward noise and criticism.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, the 'will of God' here is not a distant decree but your present inner state. Well-doing is the expression of the I AM—a consciousness of harmony, integrity, and love. When you act from this inner certainty, you radiate a presence that outshines others' judgments; the 'ignorance' of foolish men is silenced not by arguing with them, but by the unassailable reality of your inner state. The outer scene conforms to your inner assumption: if you assume you are already the wise and faithful person, your words and actions align with that truth, and opposition fades. This is the practical law: inner alignment manifests as outer silence. Your discipline is to dwell in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, not in fear of critique; through steady right action, discernment and truth begin to shine in place of contention.
Practice This Now
Before any interaction, assume the state: 'I am the will of God expressed as well-doing.' Revise fear of judgment to 'Their ignorance is their state, not mine,' and feel-it-real as you respond with calm, integrity, and compassion.
