Neville Goddard on Acts 2:6-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 2 in context

Scripture Focus

6Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

7And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

8And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

Acts 2:6-8

Biblical Context

When the message spread, the crowd gathered and was confounded by hearing each speaker in his own language; the scene shifts from bewilderment to a felt sense of shared meaning.

Neville's Inner Vision

Understand this: the crowd’s confusion is not a failure of language but a mirror of the mind, resisting the idea that all voices arise from a single, hidden language within. The I AM, present as your awareness, is speaking through every facet of you, and when you honor a single assumption—that you are the translator of all inner languages—the many voices of life begin to harmonize. The tongues in Acts are not merely speech; they are the inner vibrations of your own consciousness becoming understood by every part of you. The Galilaeans symbolize the familiar faces of self-identity; hearing them speak in their own tongue is your inner recognition that consciousness can translate outward appearances into their native significance. The prophetic promise is not that you will hear others differently, but that you will become the consistent, inner author of your experience. By dwelling in the state I AM-aware, you realize every circumstance, every voice, is already known by you; you turn external dispersion into unity through imagination realized as fact.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the role of the inner translator. Say, I AM the language that makes every voice understood; feel the unity of all parts of my life as my present reality.
