Humility and Repentance Within
2 Corinthians 12:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Corinthians 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul fears that upon his return, God will humble him among them. He laments many who have sinned and have not repented of the uncleanness, fornication, and lasciviousness they have committed.
Neville's Inner Vision
All the scenes in your life are inner states you imagine into form. When Paul writes of coming and being humbled, he is pointing to the moment you re-enter a current state of consciousness and find your own inner crowd—those impulses and memories—that have not been transformed by repentance. The 'uncleanness' and 'fornication' are symbols, not judgments, of misalignment between your I AM and habitual thoughts you still take as real. The intention of the verse is not punishment upon others, but the invitation to awaken to a higher state. When you assume the feeling of your own perfect integrity, you humbly lay down the old beliefs that keep disharmony alive. The moment you "bewail" what you haven't yet repented of becomes a wave of compassion toward your own inner children—desires, fears, patterns—that you now release. In Neville's method, you do not fight the old; you revise your inner premise until the inner speech matches freedom. As you dwell in the awareness that you are the I AM, the emotional tone shifts and the outer world follows into purer alignment.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise: assume you are already in a state of pure integrity, and feel it-real now. Rest in the I AM and let the impulse to judgment dissolve; observe how the outer scene shifts to reflect this inner harmony.
