Inner Greeting of Saints
2 Corinthians 13:12-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Corinthians 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul closes with a warm, sacred greeting—the holy kiss and the saints saluting you—expressing inner unity among believers. It speaks of shared holiness and communal affection within the body.
Neville's Inner Vision
Paul's brief farewell invites you to claim a new inner posture. The holy kiss is not a ritual gesture but a shift of consciousness; it is the felt recognition of the divine in another and, by reflection, in yourself. All the saints saluting you declares that every facet of your own awareness—your higher and lower states—stands in the circle of one I AM. When you revise your sense of separation by assuming unity, you dissolve barriers and feel the living bond that ties all identity to one life. Practically, you can dwell in the belief that you are already in harmony with every soul you meet, and allow that feeling to saturate your chest until it is your dominant experience. Do not seek proof in outward form; seek it in the interior conviction that unity is your natural state and that love, holiness, and community follow as a consequence of that truth.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and imagine you are greeting someone with a holy kiss in your mind, blessing them as a facet of your own I AM. Feel the unity as already real.
