Acts 23:8 Resurrection Within
Acts 23:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Acts 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse contrasts the Sadducees' denial of resurrection with the Pharisees' confession of both resurrection and spirits, highlighting a belief about life beyond death.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, Acts 23:8 is not a history of sects but a primer on states of mind. The Sadducee represents a consciousness that refuses the continuity of life, a belief that ends at the edge of the grave. The Pharisee embodies a different inward posture: a mind that can confess both resurrection and spirit—the ongoing reality beyond form and the visitor of guides within. The verse invites me to notice that these are not external facts to be argued, but inner dispositions I can dwell in. When I assume the state 'I am' beyond the limit of death, I awaken the inner law of resurrection: the consciousness that remains, the energy that animates, the imagination that births form. Angel and spirit become faculties of awareness, not distant beings, and they answer to my imagination when I align with the I AM that never ceases. The apparent split dissolves as I refuse to debate death and instead return to the truth of life as my own expression.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and dwell in the feeling 'I am resurrected now.' Revise any sense of finality by affirming: 'I am the I AM; this I AM knows life continues, and angels and spirit are my inner states now.'
