Mercy On Me: Inner Hearing

Luke 18:36-38 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 18 in context

Scripture Focus

36And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
37And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
Luke 18:36-38

Biblical Context

A man, hearing that Jesus is near, asks what is happening. He then cries out for mercy, recognizing the source of healing in the beloved presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Luke 18:36-38 presents a man listening for meaning as the crowd moves by, and then crying for mercy. In Neville's psychology, the blind man is a state of consciousness that believes it lacks, the crowd is outer noise, and 'Jesus of Nazareth' is the sign that the Christ-identity—the I AM—is present and ready to be recognized. 'Son of David' points to the royal line within you—the living lineage of divine authority that can heal the sense of separation. When he cries, 'Have mercy on me,' he makes a deliberate revision of his state; he refuses to be defined by limitation and instead invites grace into the very moment. The healing, then, is not the restoration of sight alone but the awakening that awareness is the healer. The I AM is the nearness that dissolves the trance of lack, and the crowd's noise disappears when you choose to attend to consciousness rather than circumstance. Remember: imagination creates reality, and by assuming the feeling of being mercy itself, you align with that present truth. The moment you accept the inner Christ as your own, the outer signs follow as evidence of a changed state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes, imagine the inner Jesus (the I AM) passing by, and revise the moment by declaring, 'I am mercy now.' Feel the shift as you align with the state that already possesses healing.
