The Inner Stand Against Riot

1 Peter 4:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Peter 4 in context

Scripture Focus

4Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
1 Peter 4:4

Biblical Context

Others are astonished that you do not join their riot. They speak ill of you for choosing holiness and separation.

Neville's Inner Vision

In 1 Peter 4:4, observe the strange reaction as the outer sign of an inner movement. They tremble at your not running with them, not because you fear crowds, but because you, in truth, are the I AM—the constant awareness that creates every scene. The riot you refuse is their projection of fear, attachment, and identity with noise. When you awaken to your inner state, you realize the riot exists only as a thought in their minds, not in your being. Do not argue or resist; instead, assume the feeling of your rightful holiness. Affirm, 'I am already the higher self,' and let that felt reality steady your nerves and soften every judgment. As you persist, the outer world mirrors this inner calm, and the slander loses its charge, returning to the silence from which it arose. The perceived separation is not withdrawal but alignment with the I AM, which quietly dissolves the appearance of discord as you stand in truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the I AM; I stand apart from the riot.' Then feel the reality of your holiness as a settled state and let that feeling realign how you see and hear others.
