Romans 16:8-9 Inner Helpers
Romans 16:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Romans 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul greets Amplias, Urbane, and Stachys, acknowledging them as beloved helpers in the Lord. In Neville's terms, these names symbolize inner states that support your spiritual life.
Neville's Inner Vision
See these verses as a map of your inner kingdom, not a social street corner. Amplias, Urbane, and Stachys are not external people to worship but facets of your own consciousness that stand with you in the Lord. Amplias is the expanding love you awaken when you affirm your I AM; Urbane is the steady, practical helper of the mind that attends to your daily choices; Stachys is the faithful, quiet friend that serves without fanfare. When Paul says greet and salute, he is instructing you to acknowledge and honor these inner dispositions as if they were real persons in your present experience. 'In the Lord' anchors all assistance in the I AM within you, not in luck or circumstance. Remember: in Neville's philosophy, life is a procession of states of consciousness. By greeting these inner helpers, you revise your sense of self and invite cooperation from within. As you nurture this inner companionship, outer events begin to harmonize with your renewed inner world, bringing greater love, trust, and support.
Practice This Now
Assume Amplias, Urbane, and Stachys stand with you now as beloved helpers in the I AM within. Revise your sense of self to accept their presence and feel their support as real.
