Neville Goddard on Hebrews 5:11-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 5 in context

Scripture Focus

11Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

12For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

13For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

14But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Hebrews 5:11-14

Biblical Context

The verses say there is much to teach, but the listeners are dull of hearing, still needing milk instead of strong meat. True discernment comes when one has trained the senses by use.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, this is a call not to external instruction but to the awakening of your inner I AM. Dull hearing is the mind’s reluctance to listen inward, preferring surface sounds to the quiet intelligence within. Milk is not a dietary issue but a habit of thought—holding first principles as doctrine rather than living, conscious experiences. When you feel the impulse to grow, imagine you are the teacher already grown, and every impression you receive is a signpost guiding your inner limbs to strength. Strong meat comes only through use, through the disciplined exercise of attention until your senses are trained to discern good and evil within the theater of consciousness. The invitation to maturity is the invitation to fuse your thoughts with your awakened I AM, so truth is not argued but lived in you. You need not seek outside facts; revise your state until you know your inner authority, and the dullness dissolves into a clear, decisive perception.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and assume the inner state of the mature teacher. Say I am the I AM within, and I now hear with awareness; I exercise my senses to discern good and evil in this moment.
