World Hatred, Inner Light

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville Goddard’s approach, the 'world' is a theater of collective beliefs, and 'hatred' is the resistance of those beliefs to your rising consciousness. The line that it hated me before it hated you reveals that the inner Christ within you has already begun its work, and the outer antagonism merely echoes an internal shift. You and the Christ within are one; the I AM that is your true self does not suffer from external judgment. Therefore, hostility from others is not a verdict on your worth but a signpost of your next ascent—an invitation to deepen trust in the inner reality you already embody. Do not seek to overcome others’ feelings but to collapse the old self with a new assumption: you are loved, you are whole, and your life is the expression of divine truth. By abiding in this inner state, you convert opposition into the birth pangs of a higher self, and the power of your faithfulness to truth grows brighter than any external glare.
