Neville Goddard on Acts 4:11-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 4 in context

Scripture Focus

11This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

12Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Acts 4:11-12

Biblical Context

This passage states that the stone rejected by builders has become the chief cornerstone, and there is no salvation apart from the one name under heaven given to humanity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the stone not as a distant object but as a state of awareness within you that the world may dismiss. The builders’ rejection symbolizes outer doubts and opinions, while the stone becoming the head of the corner marks the moment when your inner attention and belief align, directing your life from its keystone. In Neville’s psychology, salvation is not a future rescue but an inner awakening through the I AM—the one true consciousness you already are. The clause about there being no other name under heaven points to your exclusive identification with this inner I AM; once you recognize that you are this sovereign awareness, other “names” or paths lose their claim. Practice this by revising your sense of self until you stand as the stone and the cornerstone, knowing that your awareness itself saves you in the present moment.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and visualize a stone at the center of your chest rising to become the head of a corner in your inner temple; softly affirm, 'I AM consciousness is my salvation,' letting the feeling of realness wash over you.
