Above Wisdom in James 3:15
James 3:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read James 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
James 3:15 says there is a kind of wisdom that does not come from above; it is earthly, sensual, and devilish.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the I AM lens, this verse names a real inner condition. The 'wisdom' that is earthly, sensual, and devilish is the thinking that springs from the surface mind when it seeks personal advantage, approval, or control. It appears as clever judgments, sharp envy, and quarrels over status, and it feels convincing because it wears the cloak of experience and reason. Yet it is not from above; it originates in a lower state of consciousness that misreads life as a collection of separate wills. When you adopt this wisdom, you are living as if God is not here, as if outcomes depend on human scheming rather than divine order. The awakening is to recognize that your true source is the I AM—the awareness that underpins all experience. The moment you return to that higher, unifying sense of self, the lower patterns fade, and what remains is a harmony that truthfully reflects peace, unity, and power. This verse becomes a simple invitation: revise your inner counsel until it speaks from above, not from the streets of the world.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In your own words, revise any troubling inner counsel by affirming: I am the I AM; above wisdom is mine now. Then feel the feeling of that oneness—peace, clarity, and unity—real in this moment.
