Inner Truth Trumps World Hate
John 7:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The world cannot hate you; it hates the one inside who testifies to its evil. The verse presents the inner witness—the I AM—as the source of truth, while outer appearances reflect and resist that truth.
Neville's Inner Vision
John 7:7 speaks to a present, inner drama. The world you see is a state of consciousness, not a place to be judged. When you testify to the world’s “evil works,” you are simply naming the dream from the standpoint of the I AM, the awareness that never denies its own light. The hatred you sense from the world is the friction produced by the old self clinging to appearances while the new self—the witness—asserts a different reality. Therefore, align with the inner speaker, the Christ within, and allow the outer scene to reflect a revised image. The moment you accept that your awareness is the living standard of truth, the world’s opposition loses power, for it is only a projection of your former beliefs. Keep the revision steady: you are the witness who sees through appearances, and in that seeing you dissolve the ‘evil’ into peace as your consciousness expands.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: quietly assume the I AM as the witness that testifies to truth, and repeat, 'I am the I AM; the world and its works are but my beliefs.' Then feel the shift as if the new state has already arrived.
