God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord: Interpreted Through Neville Goddard

To interpret 2 Timothy 1:2 through Neville Goddard’s teachings, we consider his central idea: that Scripture is psychological drama played out in the human soul, with God and Christ as states of consciousness within the individual.

"To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord."

Neville-style interpretation:

• Timothy symbolises the disciple within you — a newly awakened state of spiritual consciousness or a developing aspect of your inner self that is learning to walk by imagination.

• "My beloved child" reflects a projection of self: Paul (the writer) represents the more established spiritual awareness addressing this younger state — an older, more experienced state of consciousness mentoring a newer one.

• Grace is the unearned favour or gift of imagining and creating your world — the realisation that your assumptions harden into fact.

• Mercy is forgiveness, which Neville often redefines as radically changing your inner state. You don't dwell on the past or 'sin' (missing the mark); instead, you move to a new assumption.

• Peace is the emotional stillness that comes when you're fully aligned with your desired state — when the inner man is at rest in the assumption that it is so.

• God the Father refers to your own I AM — the divine awareness of being.

• Christ Jesus our Lord symbolises the power and wisdom of imagination — the creative act that gives form to your assumptions.

This verse, through Neville's lens, is not an external greeting but an internal moment of affirmation — your higher self blessing a newly forming state within you (Timothy) with the tools needed to manifest: grace (creative power), mercy (ability to shift states), and peace (emotional confidence in the unseen).
