Hearing the Beloved Within

Luke 9:32-36 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 9 in context

Scripture Focus

32But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
36And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
Luke 9:32-36

Biblical Context

Peter and the others awaken to Jesus’ glory and hear a voice declare, This is my beloved Son: hear him. After the cloud passes, they keep silent about what they witnessed.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the outer scene is only the stage of your inner awakening. The sleep that weighs Peter and the company is the ordinary identification with lack, with time, with form. When they are awake enough to glimpse the glory, the two figures beside Jesus mirror your own hidden possibilities—the higher states you have not yet believed you could enter. The cloud that overshadows them is the intercourse of your conscious awareness with the unknown; fear gives way to holy awe, and in that awe, you hear the command, This is my beloved Son: hear him. The Son is not outside you; he is the activity of your I AM, the Self that already knows, perceives, and creates. To hear him is to align your inner sense with the truth you already are. Return from the restless pursuit of tabernacles and rest in the oneness where the Father and the Son are within you, now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume you are the beloved Son now. In stillness, picture the cloud enveloping you and hear the inner voice declare, This is my beloved Son: hear him; let that hearing retrain your sense of self.
