Glory Within, Love Without
John 13:31-38 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus declares that the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him, then speaks of leaving soon. He gives a new command to love one another as he has loved them, and warns of Peter's coming denial.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's voice: The 'glorified' Son of Man is not a distant event but your inner realization that you are the I AM, the living God within. When he says God is glorified in him, you are learning that your awareness itself shines most when it serves freely; glorification is not a public show but the inner alignment of attention with the truth that you are one with all life. The 'new commandment' to love one another as I have loved you becomes a practice to recognize the Self in every person, to treat all as extensions of your own consciousness, to let your love be the light that reveals unity. By this shall all men know you are my disciples—the external world mirrors your inner coherence: where you condemn, you condemn yourself; where you forgive, you prove your divine nature. Peter's dialogue is the ego's fear of loss of control; the prophecy of denial is the old self clinging to separation. You, however, can revise by remaining within the I AM, affirming that you already follow in the next state of consciousness, where love dissolves all division.
Practice This Now
Practice: close your eyes, assume the state 'I am the glorified I AM now,' and feel the unity of all life as your own awareness. Revise a moment of conflict by loving as Jesus loves, seeing the other as a facet of your own Self, until the feeling of oneness remains.
