Neville Goddard on Luke 24:50-51 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 24 in context

Scripture Focus

50And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

51And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

Luke 24:50-51

Biblical Context

Jesus leads them to Bethany, blesses them, and then rises, being carried up into heaven.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Luke 24:50-51 as the inner ascent of consciousness. Bethany stands for a state of receptivity where your attention yields to the I AM. When he lifts his hands and blesses them, it is the inner decree of blessing spoken by awareness itself: you are blessed now, here, and forever. The moment of being carried up into heaven is not a geography but a shift of your center of gravity—your sense of self rises beyond limitation into the Kingdom of God within. The disciples’ astonishment echoes your own reaction when you insist that God’s Presence is here as your I AM. The outer story dissolves into a practical truth: the kingdom is within reach whenever you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Practice: dwell in the assumption that you are blessed by your own I AM, and imagine your consciousness lifting, carried by the blessing into a higher state of awareness.

Practice This Now

Sit with eyes closed, place focus on the feeling of being blessed by the I AM, raise your hands mentally, and dwell in the sense of ascending into the Kingdom within.
