Inner Temple Stones Fall
Luke 21:5-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus describes the temple and its adornments; he predicts that not a single stone will be left. The disciples wonder when this will occur.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, the temple is your inner consciousness, the stones are habits, beliefs, and outward forms you have mistaken for permanence. When he says that days shall come when not one stone is left upon another, he is signaling a profound inner upheaval: the old pattern cannot stand in the living awareness you now claim as yourself. The crumbling of stones is not punishment but a clearing of belief so your true I AM can illuminate the sanctum within. The disciples’ question, when shall these things pass? is your question to yourself: when will I awaken from relying on outer form? The answer is not a future date but a shift of inner state—a revision of what you accept as real, a decision to no longer identify with changing appearances. If you cling to outer stones you will see their fall; if you rest in the I AM, you witness the inner temple rebuilt from consciousness, a sanctuary that endures beyond the crumbling world.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the temple of your mind; see the adorned stones dissolving and hear the creak of the old structure falling away. Then affirm, I AM the temple not made with hands, and feel the steady peace that remains as outer forms crumble.
