Inner Doorway of Healing

Mark 1:29-34 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Mark 1 in context

Scripture Focus

29And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.
31And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
32And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
33And all the city was gathered together at the door.
34And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
Mark 1:29-34

Biblical Context

Jesus heals Simon’s mother-in-law at the house, then heals many who are sick or possessed as evening falls.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, the scene reveals not a series of events but a movement of consciousness. The fever in Simon’s mother-in-law is not a literal fever, but a feverish state of mind—fear, need, and the sense of separation from the I AM. When he took her by the hand and lifted her up, the act is symbolic of consciousness touching and revoking the dream of illness; the fever leaves because the self, in its true nature, is health. The crowd at evening represents the gathering of beliefs that attention and expectation can produce; healing comes when awareness refuses to identify with those beliefs. The devils are not external beings but insinuations of limitation and possession of fear; they are silenced because the presence of the I AM is acknowledged more real than any claim of disease. The inner message: healing is the natural state of the I AM when you, too, lift a troubled state by your consciousness and insist on wholeness. Practice now by assuming the state of health, and allow the feeling of completion to settle into your being.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and imagine Jesus taking your hand in your inner space, saying, 'I AM health in you now.' Feel the warmth and rest in that truth until wholeness remains.
