Neville Goddard on 2 Peter 2:14-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Peter 2 in context

Scripture Focus

14Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

15Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

2 Peter 2:14-15

Biblical Context

The passage condemns those with eyes for adultery and deceit, who beguile unstable souls and pursue covetous practices, abandoning the right way.

Neville's Inner Vision

See this fragment as a whisper from within, not a distant judgment from without. The 'eyes full of adultery' are the recurring pull toward gratification through images and appearances; the 'covetous practices' are the mind's token of security sought in things rather than in the I AM. The 'unstable souls' are your own shifting beliefs—when you listen to them you wander from the right way; when you claim the I AM as your sole ruler, you return to the true path. Balaam's way, the love of the wages of unrighteousness, reveals how the mind bargains with appearances, thinking external gains can buy wholeness. But imagination affords the opposite: a conscious pivot that esteems integrity over gain and aligns with the right order of being. When you dwell in the realization that you are already complete in God, you dissolve the belief in lack and deception, and march in the light of inner obedience. Your true prosperity emerges as you refuse to barter your nature for the world's wages.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of purity now by declaring 'I am the I AM, the inner authority of my life.' Visualize turning away from covetous urges and step into a steady, faithful alignment with truth.
