Wisdom Behind the Beast
Revelation 13:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Here is wisdom: the text invites discernment; the 'beast' is the habitual pattern of ego in your consciousness, and counting its number reveals the grip of belief in separation.
Neville's Inner Vision
The beast is not a distant tyrant but the stubborn habit of thought that asserts separation. It arises when you identify with fearful pictures, with lack, or with a world that seems outside your oneness with the I AM. The number 666 is a symbolic pattern—a triple loop of egoic thinking that repeats as long as you believe you are a man apart from God within your own consciousness. To 'count' means to observe these thoughts without judgment, to notice how each one claims authority over your life. Wisdom comes when you realize that the power of the beast resides in your consent; the moment you stop feeding it with fear, the pattern loses its grip. Then you can affirm the truth: I AM the awareness that counts, and I AM the entire theater of my life. As you dwell in that I AM, the dream of separation dissolves, and your world aligns with a new state of consciousness—peace, abundance, unity.
Practice This Now
Practice: close your eyes, breathe deeply, and assume the I AM as the only reality. Then observe your thoughts as if you are counting the pattern of the beast; revise each cycle with the statement, 'I am the I AM; this pattern dissolves in my awareness.'
