Neville Goddard on John 12:24-25 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read John 12 in context

Scripture Focus

24Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

25He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

John 12:24-25

Biblical Context

A grain of wheat must die to bear fruit. Those who love their life in ego lose it; those who renounce the self gain life eternal.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your world is a state of consciousness; the grain of wheat is your present sense of self. When that sense falls into the ground of imagination and dies to its old identity, it does not vanish; it releases a harvest of life. The dying is the gateway through which the I AM awakens to reveal its fruit. If you cling to the ego, you keep the solitary seed; if you embrace its death, you keep life eternal—the life of God within you becoming your experience. This is resurrection in consciousness: fear yielding to faith, limitation yielding to abundance, willfulness yielding to obedience to the inner law. Therefore, declare that you are already the fruit you seek, imagine from that state, and feel it real, and your outer world will follow the truth you have assumed.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, revise a limiting belief into 'I am already the fruit of life' and feel this state as real in your body. Rest in that feeling until it remains and guides your actions.
