Neville Goddard on Philippians 3:15-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Philippians 3 in context

Scripture Focus

15Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

16Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

17Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

Philippians 3:15-17

Biblical Context

Paul urges those who feel mature to adopt a consistent mindset, keep walking by the same rule, and imitate his example while trusting God to reveal any remaining truth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your mind is the only realm where Philippians 3:15-17 becomes alive. When you say, 'I am mature,' you are not puffing up the ego but entering the ready-made state of awareness that already exists within you. The verse invites you to align with a single inner law: walk by the rule you have already attained and let God reveal any remaining truth to your present consciousness. To imitate the apostle is not to copy outward actions, but to inhabit the inner pattern that governs thought and feeling. Mark those whose lives reflect that steady standard, not as distant heroes but as living anchors within your awareness, showing you how attention follows desire. Your practice is to assume, revise, and feel it real: see yourself as the one who already walks that path, and let present experience confirm the truth. Revelation arrives as you dwell in the awareness that you are that consciousness, here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the mature mind; I walk by the same rule.' Visualize yourself following a steady inner pattern, then feel that conviction as real in your chest; let any contrary thought dissolve as you observe your life aligning with that inner standard.
