Inner Greeting of the Self
1 Thessalonians 5:26-27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Thessalonians 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul invites a warm, inclusive welcome among believers and commands that this message be read to all the holy brethren. It frames community as a sacred, shared practice.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the Neville lens, the 'brethren' are inner states of consciousness, and the 'holy kiss' is the kiss of recognition—an unconditional acknowledgment of every part as sacred. To greet them is to choose love over judgment, to align desire, doubt, courage, and peace under the same I AM awareness. The 'epistle' is the living message your mind receives from the Lord, the inner decree of your true nature; to have it read 'unto all the holy brethren' is to let this truth penetrate every fragment of self, not merely the comfortable corners. When you affirm the Lord's message, you consent to a unity that dissolves separation; you are obeying the one authority of your I AM, not a distant taskmaster. This reading is a practice in repeatable feeling: you repeat, revise, and rest in the truth that you are one with the divine letter to every aspect of you. In that moment, the whole self rises in harmony, and the holy kiss becomes a continuous rhythm of acceptance and oneness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: In quiet, assume the posture of an inner host and greet each inner state with a holy kiss of acceptance. Then imagine reading the Lord's letter to all the holy brethren within, until the sense of unity is felt as real.
