Christ Mind, Caring State

Philippians 2:20-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Philippians 2 in context

Scripture Focus

20For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
Philippians 2:20-21

Biblical Context

Paul notes there is no man among his circle who shares the exact care for your state; many are governed by self-interest rather than the things of Christ. Most people seek their own ends rather than the Christ-minded life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 20 reveals a condition of consciousness rather than a list of persons: there is no one in the outer scene who naturally cares for your inner state, for the common mind is absorbed in self-interest. The remedy is not to hunt for the right people, but to shift your inner sight. When you assume the state in which you naturally care for another's welfare, you align with the Christ within you—the mind that seeks the things which are Jesus Christ's. In that assumption, the outer world begins to reflect a like-minded presence, even if it was invisible before. The ego’s tendency to seek personal ends dissolves as you live from the Presence that gives. Your sense of separation yields to unity whenever you persist in the inner conviction that you are the I AM who tends to others' state. This is the core of Neville's method: test your inner scene and let the Christ-mind govern your experience, until the outer proves the inner truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the state of Christlike care and imagine a specific person as the recipient of your genuine concern. Feel it real until that inner posture becomes your present experience.
