The Inner Doctrine Revealed

John 7:16-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read John 7 in context

Scripture Focus

16Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
18He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
John 7:16-18

Biblical Context

Jesus states that his teaching comes from the Father, not himself; true doctrine is known by whether one does God's will, and those who speak for personal glory reveal falsehood.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the scene as a mirror for your own inner states. The 'doctrine' Jesus speaks is not a private possession but a revelation of the I AM who sent it. When the will you obey is the Father’s will, the meaning of the doctrine becomes clear to your awareness: you know it because it harmonizes with your inner movement, not because you argued for it. Doctrine arises as a movement of consciousness; speak from self and you betray the message by seeking your own glory, leaving no room for righteousness. But when you seek the glory of the one who sent you, the voice reveals its source as divine, and there is no unrighteousness in the utterance. Test truth by obedience, not by clever talk; let your life prove that you are aligned with God, not enthralled by ego. The kingdom is within, and the sender within you is your I AM. If you dwell there, your words become true doctrine, and you can recognize it wherever it comes. This is the meaning of holiness and separation: the separation from ego, the alignment with the sender, and the unforced authenticity that follows.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM within you is the source of every word; revise any self-glory claim until your teaching clearly reflects the sender within you, and feel it as real in this moment.
