Inner Verse Mastery
2 Peter 3:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Peter 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Peter notes that Paul's epistles contain hard things, and those who are unlearned and unstable twist them to their own destruction.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of 3:16 as a note about your inner weather. The "things hard to be understood" are the stubborn beliefs that your attention has never revised. In this Neville-verse, the scripture's difficulty points to your unfixed states of consciousness; you are the one who must align with the reality you deem true. The unlearned and unstable are not others; they are within you, wrestling with the new assumption. The remedy is to refuse to fight the text with argument. Instead, revise the assumption about who you are and what is real, until the truth feels natural and present. As you assume the state of awareness in which all scriptures are understood, the "destruction" is not punishment but the shedding of an old self. You awaken to the I AM that authored the verse in your imagination, and the outer reading becomes clear. In your inner world, you are always the God who reads and understands.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, assume the state of I AM where all scripture is easily understood; revise one limiting belief (e.g., 'I am unlearned') by saying, 'I am the one who understands now,' and feel that truth in your chest.
