Galatians 2:12 Inner Fellowship Meditation Practice

Galatians 2:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Galatians 2 in context

Scripture Focus

12For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
Galatians 2:12

Biblical Context

Before those from James arrived, Peter ate with Gentiles; when they came, he withdrew, fearing those of the circumcision. This shows how fear of judgment can split consciousness into 'clean' and 'unclean' camps.

Neville's Inner Vision

This scene is not a historical report about Peter, but a clear picture of a mind oscillating between unity and separation. The Gentiles symbolize your natural, unconditioned state of consciousness—the one you are when you are unafraid to include all. The moment the Jews or the circumcision crowd appear, the mind unconsciously validates the dream of division, and Peter withdraws to protect that dream. In Neville's psychology, events are movements within the I AM; you are always the awareness in which these scenes appear. Thus, Peter's withdrawal reveals a belief that inclusion must be earned or defended, a belief that you must revise. The remedy is to assume the feeling of oneness here and now. Decide that in your inner life there is one Spirit, one body, and that all are included in the Christ I AM. See these voices as mere thoughts in consciousness, not commands of your being. When you revise this inner state, the outer scene shifts: you behave as if there were never any separation, and unity becomes your lived reality.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine the room in Galatians 2:12 as full of all, including the circumcision group. Feel the I AM unity, and repeat 'There is one Spirit, one body' until the sense of separation dissolves.
