Inner Covenant of Mary
Luke 1:27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Luke 1:27 presents a pure consciousness (Mary) espoused to an inner authority (Joseph) rooted in a lineage of promise. It points to the inward covenant where alignment of perception births the divine idea.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the import is simple: a virgin state is not a body but a consciousness of purity, untouched by fear, espoused to a strong inner authority. Mary is the clear, receptive quality of awareness; Joseph, the house of David, is the ordered, royal line of thought that rules from the I AM within. The union is not physical but legal and covenantal in the mind: Mary yields to the inner law that has lineage of promise, and through that covenant a birth becomes possible—the manifestation of the divine idea in your life. The verse invites you to know that your state of consciousness determines the world you call forth. When you commit to a Mary-state aligned with a Joseph-like inner authority, you remove self-doubt and allow the truth to become flesh as your experience. Your imagination is the temple where this betrothal occurs; stand in the certainty that your inner Davidic line governs outcomes, and the light of this union proceeds to reveal reality as it is in God, within you.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit, breathe, and rest in Mary as pure awareness; revise any sense of separation by affirming you are espoused to the I AM within, the inner line of David, and feel the birth of the divine idea.
