Inner Division, Inner Unity
John 7:43 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse records that Jesus' presence caused division among the crowd. This division reflects how the mind splits when confronted with a new inner truth.
Neville's Inner Vision
Consider that the crowd in the verse is a map of the self: various states of consciousness pressed into one scene by the appearance of truth. The 'Him' who divides is the inner Jesus—the awakening Presence of I AM—whose coming stirs every settled belief. When He enters, the mind trembles at the edges of its accustomed stories, and division arises as old identifications resist novelty. Neville teaches that God is not divided; your imagination, properly directed, can harmonize these opposing currents until there is a single, clear sense of being. See the friction not as failure but as a doorway to a higher alignment; the inner conviction that there is only one Presence within you now dissolves the split. By sustaining the feeling of unity, you invite the crowd of inner opinions to yield to the one reality you already hold in consciousness. Your life becomes an image in the mind of I AM; by continuing to dwell there, the outer scene aligns with that inner truth.
Practice This Now
Assume unity now: close your eyes and declare, 'There is only one Presence within me now.' Feel that oneness until the sense of inner division dissolves.
