Awakening Lazarus Within
John 11:12-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The disciples interpret Jesus' words about sleep as literal rest; Jesus clarifies that Lazarus has died.
Neville's Inner Vision
The disciples gate-crash the surface meaning as if death were final, yet Jesus speaks from the level of consciousness. In Neville's voice, Lazarus is a state within you—a living idea, a possibility you once believed was buried. Death, in this light, is not a person laid in a tomb but a belief that a life or quality has ended. The I AM—your essential awareness—does not lament or wait; it awakens what you have not fully allowed into present life. When you hear that Lazarus is dead, recognize that you have misread your own inner events as permanent endings. This is not despair but a call to revise the moment: to affirm that life remains, even when appearances suggest otherwise. By aligning with the inner I AM, you restore vitality to the sleeping possibility. The resurrection becomes your present experience: a shift in consciousness that breathes life into the dormant idea, turning fear into faith and expectancy into a living reality. Resurrection, in this view, is you waking to who you are, here and now.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, 'I am awake to the life of Lazarus within me now.' Then imagine a tomb within your chest opening and light or a gentle life force flowing through you, as if your inner I AM is reviving a long-forgotten possibility.
