Inner Presence of John 7:32-36

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville Goddard lens, the scene is not about external geography but a state of consciousness. The Pharisees are the rigid ego-mind, and the officers are habitual judgments that escort you from your inner sanctuary. Jesus’ words, 'Yet a little while am I with you,' point to a temporary alignment with the divine Source within you—the I AM who sent you. The claim, 'you shall seek me, and shall not find me,' exposes the ego’s outward chase for certainty and approval, a quest that cannot reach the inner recital of your true being. 'Where I am, thither ye cannot come' declares that as long as you remain anchored in old identities, you cannot enter the state of conscious union. The dispersion of the Gentiles becomes a symbol for the mind scattering attention across many objects; your real teacher awaits in the I AM beneath them all. The promise is inward: turn from seeking to being, and realize you already exist in the Father’s house. Your return is a perpetual present, never truly distant from you.
