Inner Discipline Of Sonship
Hebrews 12:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hebrews 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Hebrews 12:7-8 presents discipline as evidence of true sonship, a process of enduring correction that aligns the mind with its divine source. The passage also implies that without chastening, one remains disconnected from the rightful state of being.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the seeker, Hebrews 12:7-8 is not about punishment from a distant judge, but about the movement of your own consciousness toward truth. God is the I AM within you, the ever-present Father of your awareness, and chastening is the gentle correction of belief that would keep you small. When you endure chastening, you are not harmed by fate; you are being tuned by your inner self to align with your divine identity. The mind clings to a lesser self until correction is welcomed, and in that welcome you awaken as a son in consciousness, restored to your source. Any resistance you feel is only an old vibration dissolving as you hold the vision of oneness with the I AM. This discipline, rightly understood, is tender, not punitive, and reveals that you are always loved, guided, and complete in the living presence within you.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the I AM,' welcoming the inner correction as loving guidance. Feel the shift in your sense of self as you revise lack into wholeness.
