Inner Boldness Beyond Reproach
2 Corinthians 11:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Corinthians 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul speaks of reproach as if they had been weak, yet he declares that wherever boldness exists, he is bold as well. The text contrasts outer opinion with an inner conviction that true power comes from within.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice that 'I speak as concerning reproach' is the outward narrator signaling a state of mind more than a fact of life. In Neville's psychology, reproach is a signal of a belief that you are weak; you revise that belief by turning to the inner I AM. 'Whereinsoever any is bold, I am bold also' is the recognition that your boldness is not borrowed from others but instantiated by your consciousness. The I AM within you is identical to the boldness you admire in others, and it stands ready to be claimed. Therefore, practice not struggling against reproach, but imagining the bold self as already real and present. As you align with that inner reality, outward appearances mirror the inner shift. Remember: imagination creates reality; the world is your states of consciousness. When you refuse to identify with weakness, you walk in the fearless presence of your true nature.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume the I AM in you is bold right now. Revise the scene of reproach by feeling that boldness as real and let it settle into your body and voice.
