Neville Goddard on 2 Thessalonians 3:6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Thessalonians 3 in context

Scripture Focus

6Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

2 Thessalonians 3:6

Biblical Context

The verse commands believers to withdraw from anyone who walks in disorder and deviates from the tradition delivered by the apostles. It frames obedience and holiness as a community safeguard.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the spiritual eye, this verse is not a social rule but a revelation of consciousness. 'Withdraw yourselves' is an instruction to disengage your attention from the disorderly state you perceive as if it were the living reality of your mind. The 'brethren' are not separate people so much as the various attitudes at play within your own awareness. The 'tradition' received is the inner discipline of Christ you have been taught to honor. When you encounter a thought or person that seems to walk contrary to that tradition, you do not condemn but reorient your inner weather. You do not punish the disorder; you withdraw your identification with it, and thereby restore the natural order of your I AM awareness. Obedience, in this sense, is obedience to the higher pattern within you, not to external punishment. By withdrawing from the disorderly state in imagination, you invite the steady, orderly life of God to express as your experience, showing that judgment begins within your own consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare, 'I withdraw my attention from every fragment of disorder and align with the Christ within.' Then, hold that inner order by imagining a serene, unified mind until it feels real.
