Inner Guard Against False Teachers
1 Timothy 6:3-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Timothy 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage warns that anyone teaching a doctrine different from wholesome words and the gospel reveals a proud, quarrelsome mind; such teachers should be avoided.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville’s practice, scriptures are states of consciousness, not external facts. If any man teaches otherwise points to an inner misalignment - an attitude that resists the light of truth. When you consent not to wholesome words, you resist the inner words of Jesus Christ as your own I AM—your awareness becomes the measure of godliness. The doctrine which is according to godliness is a way of living in that elevated consciousness, not a ritual. The speaker who is proud, knowing nothing, is a restless mind chasing questions and disputes, which births envy, strife, and suspicion—false monitors that counterfeit true godliness as gain. In your practice, withdraw attention from such disputing states and align with the single, universal Word within. Listen to the inner teacher and let your sense of self be defined by the calm, godlike state that is already real in you. Your world follows your assumption; choose the wholesome Word as your reality, and the rest recedes.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the consciousness of godliness now; silently affirm, I am the I AM, the living Word within, and withdraw my attention from all strife and vain disputing.
