Neville Goddard on 2 Peter 1:12-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Peter 1 in context

Scripture Focus

12Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

13Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

14Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

15Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

16For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

17For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

18And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

2 Peter 1:12-18

Biblical Context

Peter urges believers to remain reminded of the teachings and stay established in present truth, while he notes his coming decease. He asserts they did not follow fables but were eyewitnesses of Christ’s power and majesty.

Neville's Inner Vision

Peter’s words reveal that remembrance is a state of consciousness, the tabernacle a temporary vessel, and present truth the living awareness you inhabit now. The voice from the excellent glory is the inner guidance of the I AM affirming your divine sonship. You are called to let go of old self-images (the coming demise of the tabernacle) while keeping these truths alive in memory, so they endure beyond any outer change. The eyewitness account is your own inner certainty that the power and coming of Christ are real within you, not distant legends. To claim this, you must revise to the conviction that you are already beloved, and that God’s pleasure rests on your present state. Your practice is to inhabit that state now, trusting that imagination renders this truth tangible in your life.

Practice This Now

Imaginatively step into the state: assume you are already in the present truth and feeling the Father’s pleased voice within. Repeat a brief revocation of lack and a revived sense of being the beloved, until it feels real.
