Inner Cornerstone of Belief
1 Peter 2:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Peter 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
1 Peter 2:7 contrasts belief with disobedience: believers find Christ precious, while the stone the builders rejected becomes the chief cornerstone.
Neville's Inner Vision
Belief is not an external creed but a state of consciousness you awaken. When you say 'he is precious' you are naming the presence of the I AM within as priceless and central; the builders' disapproval is the old, resistant mind that refuses to align with this truth. In Neville's tongue, the stone they rejected becomes the head of the corner—the very point where vertical awareness (I AM) and horizontal life converge. You are the builder of your world; your attention crafts the foundation. To the one who believes, the inner stone is not merely favored but constitutive: it anchors every experience and guides every decision. The rejection of the stone by doubt collapses into a new alignment where the cornerstone governs your life. The 'head of the corner' is the place you turn to see everything in its right orientation, the center from which your thoughts radiate outward. Begin with inner recognition: the I AM is precious, immutable, and present now; let that awareness reorganize your feelings, beliefs, and surroundings.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, 'I AM the precious cornerstone of my life,' and feel the inner stone settling at the central point of consciousness; dwell there for a moment, revising any doubt.
