From Lust to Inner Light
Ephesians 2:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ephesians 2 in context
Scripture Focus
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.
