Neville Goddard on 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 10 in context

Scripture Focus

5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

2 Corinthians 10:5-6

Biblical Context

Paul teaches to cast down imaginations and every thought that rises against God, bringing them into obedience to Christ. This inner warfare is won by ruling the mind from the I AM, not by external force.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this text the battlefield is the mind. Imaginations and high thoughts are not distant enemies but inner pictures that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. To Paul this means you must not permit any image of lack, fear, or limitation to rule your inner theatre. You are the I AM, the timeless awareness that preferences truth over illusion. Cast down these imaginations by turning away from the image and into the light of Christ within, thus bringing every thought into captivity to obedience. Obedience here is an alignment with your divine state, a decision to live from that Christ consciousness rather than from petty mental commentaries. When you recognize disobedience, you are ready to reverse it the moment it appears, because your obedience is fulfilled in the persistent practice of assumed truth. The result is a mind that acts from conviction, and a life that reflects that inward state, because imagination truly creates reality when unceasingly inhabited by the I AM.

Practice This Now

Practice: sit quietly, and when a troubling thought arises, imagine it as a cloud you push aside, and affirm, I AM the Lord of my mind; this thought is obedient to the Christ within. Then feel the certainty of that inner state until it becomes your default.
