The Heavenly House Within
2 Corinthians 5:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Corinthians 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul contrasts the fragile earthly body (the tent) with an eternal divine dwelling (the house from God). The sense of groaning signals the soul’s longing to awaken to its heavenly self.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the I AM, the 'earthly house' is simply your present state of consciousness about yourself, the tent you presently inhabit. The 'building of God' is the true you, the immortal I AM, the house not made with hands that already exists in your heaven of awareness. The verse is not a meteor from the sky, but a call to revise your sense of self until the outside scene reflects your inner architecture. The groaning you feel is not a lament but the pressure of a new consciousness pressing for recognition—the urge to clothe yourself with the divine form that your awareness already knows. When you live from the end, you are no longer identifying with the body as you; you are identifying with the I AM that governs it. Your reality shifts as you persist in the imaginative assumption that you already wear that heavenly house. Then appearances will realign to match your inner state, and the present sense of hunger dissolves into peaceful dwelling in the eternal home within.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine stepping into a house not made with hands, built of light and your I AM presence. Feel yourself settled there, and say softly, I am clothed with my heavenly house now.
