Inner Truth Versus Covetous Sway
2 Peter 2:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Peter 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Peter warns that many will follow corrupt ways, turning the path of truth into something spoken against; covetousness will cause people to exploit others, with judgment coming.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, the letter is not about distant villains but about your own inner states. The 'many' are parts of you that drift with popular opinion and fear, disguising truth as something to be slandered. The 'way of truth' is your inner alignment with the I AM, your unshakeable sense of being. When desire rules and you believe the world must prove your worth, truth is spoken against in your mind, because you project doubt onto the spoken word. Covetousness—an insistence on outward gain and consumption—creates 'feigned words' that merchandise you: you act as if your value is outside you, feeding the external market of appearances. But judgment is not in a future hell; it is the onset of a new inner state that refuses to identify with those thoughts. When you revise your assumption to 'I am the I AM,' you stop feeding the old narrative; you imagine that truth remains intact regardless of others' chatter. Then the so-called damnation of others dissipates as your attention returns to the one reality: awareness, the I AM.
Practice This Now
Practice: sit quietly and assume the feeling of the I AM as the sole truth; revise any outward slander by repeating that your reality is the inner consciousness. Then dwell there for a few minutes, noticing how perception shifts.
