Inner Vision of Selfish Times

2 Timothy 3:2-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Timothy 3 in context

Scripture Focus

2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2 Timothy 3:2-4

Biblical Context

The passage lists inner traits that surface when we live from self-love and appetite. It shows how outward trouble mirrors the inner state of consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the list not as a denunciation of others, but as a map of your own inner weather. The 'lovers of their own selves' are states of consciousness that cling to possession, image, and sensation; 'covetous' and 'boasters' are the thoughts and feelings that pretend security comes from things or applause. When you identify with these narratives, you separate yourself from the I AM that is always aware, and you experience life as fear-driven scarcity. The God in you is not external but your own I AM, the steady witness who can revise any scene by assuming a higher self. To heal is to recognize these traits as shifts in consciousness, not people to condemn. By imagined fidelity to a perfected self—one who is grateful, obedient to the inner law, and free from petty cravings—you rewrite the script. Despisers of what is good, traitors, heady, highminded: these are the loud terms of a mind convinced it knows better than God. When you dwell in the present quiet of your true I AM, you choose holiness, generosity, and self-control, and the world shifts to reflect that inward state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the I AM state as your true self now. Revise any craving by affirming, 'I am free; I choose holiness, obedience, and gratitude,' until this inward state feels real.
