Neville Goddard on Acts 22:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 22 in context

Scripture Focus

6And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.

7And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

Acts 22:6-7

Biblical Context

On the road to Damascus, a brilliant light surrounds him, he falls to the ground, and he hears a voice saying, 'Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?'

Neville's Inner Vision

Receive the scene as the waking of consciousness. The great light is not on a desert road but the dawn of awareness breaking through your current self-imposed darkness. Saul, the name of your old self, is asked why you persecute Me—the divine I AM you. The ground falling away is the collapse of a worn self-image into pure awareness. The voice is not an external preacher but the inward Word, the recognition that you are the one who stands behind every story. In Neville's terms, the outer events are the imaginary stage lighting; the true drama is the shift of you from identification with limitation to the realization that God is awareness, your present I AM. Actively feel that you are the one who shines, the one addressed, the one who grants forgiveness and new direction. Let the light not come from Damascus but from within, and let the voice be the quiet affirmation that you are not persecuting life but embracing it as divine abundance.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume I am the light of God within me now. Feel the old self loosen its grip as the inner voice affirms You are the I AM; you are free.
