Neville Goddard on 2 Peter 2:10-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Peter 2 in context

Scripture Focus

10But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

11Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

2 Peter 2:10-11

Biblical Context

The passage contrasts those who follow fleshly lusts and despise rightful order with angels who refrain from railing against the Lord.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your true world is a state of consciousness. The 'walk after the flesh' is the mind clinging to appetites; 'despising government' is the rebel within resisting inner order. The angels symbolize the higher states of awareness within you—powerful, yet they do not rail at appearances or condemn; they simply stand as the quiet I AM. When you identify with pride or self-will, you project and disrupt harmony; when you identify with the inner governor, you align with the order of the Lord within. This contrast invites you to discipline your imagination and feelings until you do not rail against what you deem 'dignities' (your higher Self or Authority). The outer appearances rearrange themselves as you persist in the consciousness that you are not these appetites but the I AM that stands above them.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of the I AM as inner governor for a moment; revise any belief of being ruled by lust and rest in the calm, authoritative presence that quietly governs your thoughts.
