Neville Goddard on 2 Corinthians 5:13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 5 in context

Scripture Focus

13For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.

2 Corinthians 5:13

Biblical Context

Paul states that whether he is beside himself or sober, his conduct serves God and benefits others.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage point, beside ourselves is not loss but a soul intoxicated by the imagination in service to God. When you feel carried beyond ordinary reason, that is the I AM at work, widening your awareness until God's intention moves through you. Whether you are beside ourselves or sober, the same potency operates: consciousness choosing a state and thus birthing a situation that serves others. The verse teaches that the form of your attention matters less than its direction. By steadying your assumption - 'I am the I AM; I move through this life for the good of all' - you align the inner movements with divine demand, turning inner ecstasy or disciplined stillness into outward witness. Your witness is not argument but alignment; life follows your belief because belief is the inner architect. In practice, dwell in the felt reality of that state until it rewrites conditions in you and around you.

Practice This Now

In a 5-minute session, choose a present concern, assume the I AM state toward it, and feel the outcome as already real; then let that feeling radiate to bless others.
