Inner Scriptures: The Steps Within
1 Peter 2:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Peter 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse invites believers to follow Christ's example, embracing suffering as a calling and a pattern for obedience.
Neville's Inner Vision
Listen: the word 'called' speaks not of a distant event but of your present state of consciousness. Christ's suffering is the inner discipline of the I AM, an example etched into your awareness as the way a dreamer learns to wake. The steps he walked are the precise movements of your own attention when fear, resistance, or pain arise. Do not search for an external trial to imitate; instead, observe the inner stance you cultivate when facing discomfort: calm, steady, trusting that the universe is adjusting through your awareness. When you imagine yourself as the steady I AM, you imitate the archetype of endurance - perseverance that remains faithful not to circumstances but to the truth of being. The 'example' is a pattern you can reproduce in feeling and assumption: you act from a state that is already free, not from the lack you see in the world. Your suffering becomes a doorway through which you enter higher alignment with God inside you.
Practice This Now
Assume you are the I AM that endures; in the moment of trial, revise the signal in your mind by affirming, 'I am the steady presence that follows the inner steps of Christ.' Then feel it real by letting that conviction dissolve fear and cultivate quiet trust.
