Neville Goddard on Luke 13:1-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 13 in context

Scripture Focus

1There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

2And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

3I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

4Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

5I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Luke 13:1-5

Biblical Context

Jesus shows that tragedies are not proof of others' sin, but a universal warning: repent or perish. The message calls everyone to turn inward and change their state of mind.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, the Galileans' blood and the fallen tower are inner weather, not outer verdicts. They reveal the mind's tendency to measure sin by circumstance; the true measure is the state you inhabit. If you imagine yourself as a victim of events, you are arguing from lack; revise to the consciousness that you are the I AM experiencing life as you imagine it, and fear dissolves as possibility ripens. To repent is to consciously revise the old belief that you are separate from your Source, to feel your unity with the living presence that knows no final fall. Now, you can practice: assume a new state of consciousness in which you are already whole, loved, and safe, and feel that truth until it feels real in your chest and hands and world.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare: I NOW AM the I AM awakening; I repent of the old belief that danger comes from without. See yourself as the consciousness that imagines a calm, abundant life and feel that truth until it feels real.
