Neville Goddard on Hebrews 6:1-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 6 in context

Scripture Focus

1Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

2Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

3And this will we do, if God permit.

4For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

5And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

6If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

7For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

8But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

9But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

10For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

11And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

12That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

13For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

14Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

15And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

16For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

17Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

18That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

19Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

20Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Hebrews 6:1-20

Biblical Context

Hebrews 6:1-20 invites believers to move beyond the basics of Christ’s teaching toward spiritual maturity, warning that some may fall away, yet it also speaks of perseverance, God’s oath, and the anchor of hope.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, this passage is not a history lesson but a map of your inner state. Move from the childhood trust in outward rites to the living I AM, a consciousness that can go on unto perfection when you cease laying again the foundation of fear and lack. The rain you drink upon the soil of your mind nourishes herbs of your choosing; the honest soil bears fruit as you persist in the feeling of already having what you desire. The two immutable things—God’s counsel and His oath—are your unshakable assurance when you assume the end. If you fall away in doubt you pretend there is no son within, but if you stand in the assurance, you enter the place beyond the veil where Jesus, the inner forerunner, has already become your high priest. Hope becomes an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast, because you have fled to that inner refuge and laid hold upon what you imagined.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of your desire fulfilled, dwelling in the sense 'I AM' as your present reality; revise any doubt by repeating, 'I have already entered the anchor of hope within me.'
