Saul's Turning Within

Acts 26:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Acts 26 in context

Scripture Focus

14And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Acts 26:14

Biblical Context

Paul recounts falling to the ground and hearing a voice in Hebrew that asks Saul why he persecutes, signaling a turning point where the old self meets a higher command.

Neville's Inner Vision

What you call Saul is your old self, bigoted against the living sense of I AM. When the world knocks you down—the ego humbled—you hear a voice speaking in your own language, the inner I AM, saying you are not separate from what you persecute. The demand is not punishment, but a prick against your wrong assumptions. To kick against these prompts is to intensify your pain; to yield is to discover that the voice is the awakening of your true state. The road to Damascus is your shift in consciousness from outward striving to inward alignment. The voice names you and claims you: 'Why persecute me?' means every resistance done to your higher self is resistance to God within. Accepting the prompt dissolves the old life, and your sense of self expands into the realization that you are the I AM acting through you. In that moment the ordinary becomes sacred, and you move from fear into faith by living as the consciousness that hears and obeys.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine the inner voice addressing you by name; consciously revise any resistant impulse by saying, 'I yield to the I AM within me,' and feel the new state as real.
