From Milk to Mastery Within
Hebrews 5:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hebrews 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Hebrews 5:13 says that anyone who uses milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness and is a babe; maturity comes from moving beyond infancy to discernment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this line, milk and solid food are states of consciousness. The 'word of righteousness' is not a rule book but the living I AM—your awareness expressing as life. To be 'unskilful' with milk means clinging to comforting pictures and identities, mistaking appearance for truth. To be a babe is to treat transient sensation as your fundament. The invitation to 'solid food' is a call to disciplined inner nourishment: imagine from the end, assume the present reality of your right-standing, and feel the truth as already true. When you revise your sense of self by a single, decisive assumption, the old self fades and a mature perception takes its place. The inner movement then travels outward as new conditions, yet the change begins in consciousness. Hebrews 5:13 thus becomes a map: choose to nourish with the solid word, dwell in the I AM, and you outgrow infancy into the luminous discernment that righteousness brings.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: sit quietly, declare 'I am the I AM, and I stand in righteousness now,' and feel the old infant self dissolve as a newer, steadier self takes root.
