Inner Declaration Of God Within
John 1:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse declares that God cannot be seen outwardly, but He is declared by the only begotten Son who dwells in the Father's embrace. This points to an inner, personal revelation rather than external sight.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the I AM, the text speaks of a God experienced not by eyes, but by consciousness awakening to its own union. The Father is your deeper self; the only begotten Son in His bosom is the active principle that makes God known from within. The declaring is not historical narration; it is the moment your awareness asserts that God is present here and now. When you identify with the inner Son, you stop looking outward for signs and begin letting the inner light reveal the Father in every sensation, thought, and feeling. The outer world remains a theater of pictures, while the real reality is the inner conjunction of I AM with its expression. To see God, you must assume that you are the Son who declares Him, dwell in that state, and watch as life rearranges itself to reflect the divine nature you affirm. Your faith becomes a trust that what you seek already exists within your own consciousness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state: I am the Son in the bosom of the Father, declaring Him now. Feel this truth as a living presence, and let it echo in every breath, until the sense of separation dissolves.
