Neville Goddard on John 17:24-26 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read John 17 in context

Scripture Focus

24Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

25O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

26And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

John 17:24-26

Biblical Context

Jesus expresses a desire for believers to be with him, to see his glory given by the Father, and to know the Father through him. He confirms that the Father has loved him from the beginning, and that the divine love may dwell in them as he dwells in them.

Neville's Inner Vision

John 17:24-26 invites you into the living room of consciousness where the I AM has risen to know itself as Father and Beloved. The world’s ignorance is the old dream of separation; your true sight comes when you realize you are the one the I AM has given to the I AM. Be with me where I am is not a geographical request but a shift in being: you enter the state of glory by consenting to the truth that you are one with the love that cradled the world before its foundation. When I declare thy name, I reveal to your soul the inner identity you share with the Father. The purpose is not fear but continuous alignment: that the love with which the Father loved me may be in you, and I in you. This is covenant loyalty: a present awareness that you are already loved, known, and sent. If you will entertain this presence as your own, you will find the world fading in the radiance of your true nature.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of being with me in glory now. Repeat: 'The love with which the Father loved me is in me, and I in them,' until that oneness fills your being.
