Paradise Today: Inner Mercy
Luke 23:43 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Luke 23:43, Jesus promises the penitent thief that today he will be with him in paradise. It marks immediate mercy and salvation granted in that moment.
Neville's Inner Vision
That spoken word, 'today,' is not a calendar mark but a signal to your inner self that the state of paradise is yours here and now. The thief's cry for mercy is your own awakening to the I AM within; Jesus represents the seated Christ in you, the quiet ruler of consciousness who forgives and reconciles in an instant when you refuse to argue with your past. To believe you are with me in paradise is to affirm that your repented mind shifts into an inner kingdom where time dissolves and rivalry ceases. Paradise, in this sense, is not a distant place but a harmony of being: a seamless union of love, awareness, and right relation. If you permit the feeling of that unity to fill your chest and bloodstream, the outward life aligns to reflect it. Your redemption is not earned but remembered as your essential state, already established in the I AM you are.
Practice This Now
Assume the state now: silently revise, 'I am with the I AM; I am in paradise this moment.' Breathe slowly 5–10 times and feel that unity as present reality.
