Inner Manna and The New Name
Revelation 2:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
To those who overcome, the Spirit promises nourishment from hidden manna and a white stone bearing a new name known to the receiver. It speaks not of external events, but of inner shifts and the consciousness that has become the living temple.
Neville's Inner Vision
To hear the Spirit is to know that God lives as the I AM within, the awareness through which all images become fact. The 'hidden manna' is nourishment you provide to your own consciousness; when you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and declare quietly, I have overcome, you invite this celestial bread into the present moment. The 'white stone' is the robust proof of your new state, inscribed in the stillness of your mind as if it were written on a stone you carry. The 'new name' is your private designation for the risen self—known to you in imagination, hidden from the outer world until you wake. Overcoming is not struggle but alignment—an inner revision that makes the image real. In this way, salvation becomes a daily, conscious transformation: nourishment feeds awareness, and the stone and name certify the reality of your inward kingdom, embodied here and now.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state of the overcomer; in your mind, eat the hidden manna until it feels like warmth spreading through your chest. Then see a white stone in your hand with a new name etched on it, and rest in the feeling that this is your present self.
