Neville Goddard on John 14:28-29 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read John 14 in context

Scripture Focus

28Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

29And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

John 14:28-29

Biblical Context

Jesus speaks of going away and coming back, inviting disciples to rejoice and believe because the future event will reveal the truth. The message is about inner movement—leaving the old self and returning to the Presence of God within.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that these lines are not about geography but about states of consciousness. When He says I go away and I come again, it is your own mind stepping out of a familiar self-image and then returning to its source in awareness. The Father being greater than I points you to the truth that your higher self—your I AM, the Presence you are—is always more complete than any transient belief or circumstance. The prophecy and the foretelling are tools to seed belief in the unseen; they are not future events to wait for, but present acts of imagination performed in the thinking mind. When it passes, you may believe becomes a practice of living as though the end is already true, right now, in your inner life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and revise your self-state to 'I am the I AM, the Father within me is greater than any circumstance.' Then feel the joy of the fulfilled end as if it is happening now.
