Inner Boundary of Alignment
2 Thessalonians 3:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Thessalonians 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It instructs to notice those who do not obey and withdraw fellowship so their behavior may be ashamed and corrected. In plain terms, it uses social separation as a corrective measure.
Neville's Inner Vision
Suppose the 'man' who does not obey our word by this epistle is not a separate person but a state of consciousness you have allowed to linger in you. The instruction to note him and have no company with him becomes an invitation to withdraw attention from that lower script and return to your true Self. The I AM is not punitive; it is awareness, alignment, and relief. When you imagine you are already living in obedience to your own Word, the outer measure of shame becomes an inner alarm pointing you back to the center. Exclusion here is a boundary you set in consciousness, not a judgment of others. By refusing to feed the disobedient thought with your attention, you shrink its power and re-enter the community of your higher self, where all are one in the I AM. This is inner discipline, not fault-finding. Treat the epistle as a mnemonic for your inner law: if a belief drifts from your spoken truth, withdraw your focus and restore order, until your life reflects that obedience.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Choose one recurring thought or habit and, in your imagination, withdraw attention from it, calling your I AM back to center and feeling yourself in alignment with the desired state. Observe the old pattern fading as you rest in that inner unity.
