Inner Resurrection in John 11

Neville's Inner Vision

To the Neville Goddard ear, the tomb is a mental habit, not a place. Lazarus represents a condition of life once alive in your mind but now believed to be gone. Bethany and Jerusalem are lines in your inner geography—where you permit limitation to stand. Martha’s ache signals a belief in lack; Mary’s silence signals a faith that waits on something outside. When Jesus declares, 'I am the resurrection and the life,' He is pointing you to the actuality that you are the I AM, the unchanging consciousness that sustains every birth. The promise, 'though he were dead, yet shall he live,' becomes a directive to revise the inner script: the dead image is not past but a stale belief awaiting your present conviction. Your belief in Jesus as the Christ is your belief in the truth that you are the Son of God, the living awareness that never dies. In this light, the question 'Believest thou this?' is not about assent to an event, but a renewal of your inner state: act from the consciousness that life is now, and resurrection is your natural expression of being.
