The Inner Stone Of Stumbling

1 Peter 2:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Peter 2 in context

Scripture Focus

8And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
1 Peter 2:8

Biblical Context

The verse speaks of a stone that trips up those who resist the word. Their disobedience marks the inner state behind their experience.

Neville's Inner Vision

Seeing the verse through Neville's lens, the stone is not an external obstacle but a vibration you emit from the state of your own consciousness. The word you stumble at is the idea your current self holds about who you are and what is real. When you resist, when you cling to an old self-image, that resistance becomes the stone that blocks further movement. The phrase whereunto they were appointed speaks to the natural law that your present consciousness attracts the events and appearances that confirm it. To reverse it, you must revise your state by acknowledging that you are the I AM aware of truth, and that truth is not distant but within you. By aligning with the word within, by assuming unity with God and feeling its reality, you dissolve the obstruction. The stumbling then becomes a beacon guiding you to revise rather than condemn. As you cultivate a feeling of embodied oneness, the rock loses its power and the path forward unfolds in harmony with your inner self.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM is the present state you inhabit and revise your self-image to align with truth. Sit quietly, feel your unity with God, and imagine stepping over the stone into light.
