Inner Journeys Through Trials

2 Corinthians 11:25-26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 11 in context

Scripture Focus

25Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
26In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
2 Corinthians 11:25-26

Biblical Context

Paul recounts many sufferings—beatings, stonings, shipwrecks, and dangers on his journeys.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, these outward perils are not separate enemies but signals of inner resistance. The I AM within you is the true captain; the rods, the stones, the wrecks describe the movements of your own consciousness under pressure from old beliefs. When you feel tossed by waters, or surrounded by robbers and false appearances, you are simply witnessing thoughts that have not yet consented to your divine nature. The verse is not a walk through geography; it is a map of consciousness under the hammer of doubt. If you identify with fear, you multiply storms; if you identify with the I AM, you notice the storms recede as your attention rests in the eternal you. The body of the universe responds to the posture of your inner state. So, in practice, return now to the feeling of being kept by infinite intelligence; imagine the scene revised so that you are unhurt, unshaken, guided by wisdom that knows you as whole. Your present fear dissolves when you acknowledge your oneness with the I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the scene: see yourself safe, unshaken, carried by infinite intelligence, while the outer trial fades in your awareness. Stay with that feeling-it-real until it becomes your present state.
