From Lust to Inner Light

Ephesians 2:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ephesians 2 in context

Scripture Focus

3Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Ephesians 2:3

Biblical Context

The verse says we once lived under the pull of fleshly and mental desires, and were by nature the children of wrath; it marks a past condition awaiting inner transformation rather than an eternal verdict.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the 'we' and 'flesh' in this scripture are not external others but your inner states of consciousness. The 'lusts of the flesh' and the 'desires of the mind' are habits of imagining separation, a pattern that has identified you with limitation and judgment. The phrase 'children of wrath' names the tone produced by that identification, but it is not a fixed fate—it's an inner condition you can revise. In Neville’s manner, you are called to cease identifying with that story and to assume a new state: I AM, the awareness that creates your world. By centering in that I AM and feeling the wish fulfilled, you withdraw energy from the old impulse and invite harmony, order, and creative power into the present. The past is acknowledged as a mental arrangement you may dissolve through a living conviction of your true nature. Your awakening occurs when imagination becomes the governing reality, not the memory of former desires.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, declare 'I AM' as your true self and revise the past by feeling the wish fulfilled now; dwell in that inner state for a few minutes until it is vivid.
