The Unlearned Teacher Within
John 7:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse presents a moment where outward credentialing is contrasted with inner knowing; true learning comes from the I AM within, not from letters alone.
Neville's Inner Vision
John 7:15 is not a dispute about schoolmasters; it is a window into the inner student and the I AM that awakens all knowing. The Jews marvel because they measure knowledge by learned letters, but the manifest teacher is the I AM within each heart, quietly speaking through inspiration rather than parchment. When you identify with that I AM, you appear to your own mind as one who speaks with certainty, because your thought is no longer a borrowed syntax but a living certainty. Imagination is the instrument by which you grow to know how to "know": you assume the state of inner mastery, revise the seen by feeling the truth of your own awareness, and events arrange themselves to reflect that inner conviction. The man who seems unlearned is not devoid of learning; he is the awareness that creates letters in the moment by the implication of consciousness. So you can train yourself to acknowledge that the source of knowledge is the I AM within, not the external book.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, I am the I AM within; then imagine yourself answering a question from this inner seat, feeling the certainty ripple through your chest as if knowledge flows from within.
