Not Of The World Inner State

John 17:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read John 17 in context

Scripture Focus

16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
John 17:16

Biblical Context

The verse states that Jesus' followers belong to a reality beyond worldly concerns, mirroring his own separation. It signals an inner stance of not belonging to the world.

Neville's Inner Vision

John 17:16 tells you that they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. This is not a geographic condition but a state of consciousness. The world is the realm of appearances; the I AM within you is the unchanging reality. When you awaken to this, you stop leasing your life to the shifting scenes and begin living from the inner sovereignty that belongs to the Christ within. To reinterpret it, assume the feeling of being only the I AM, already separate from worldly chatter, yet present within it to heal and align. In this inner alignment, holiness and purity are lived as continuous choice—not to conform to external worldly measures but to stay loyal to the inner light. Faithfulness becomes trust in that inner decree, obedience is simply following the inner sight as it is given. If you can feel it real now, you will find the outer world rearranging itself to reflect your true identity and purpose. The world fades in the glow of the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes, assume the feeling of being the I AM not of the world, then rest in that inner observation. Watch as the outer scene rearranges itself to reflect your true identity.
