Inner Jerusalem Rising
Mark 10:32-34 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus leads the way toward Jerusalem as the disciples follow with awe and fear. He explains that what awaits him—betrayal, condemnation, and death—will be followed by a resurrection on the third day, signaling inner transformation.
Neville's Inner Vision
To walk with Jesus on the road to Jerusalem is to watch the mind ascend to a higher level of awareness. The crowd’s awe and fear mirror our own mixed states when confronted with truth that unsettles the familiar self. When he says the Son of Man shall be delivered and condemned, notice that he is not predicting an external drama alone but naming a shift in consciousness: the I AM within you is handed over to the crucible of experience you call life, and the old responses are judged by your higher sight. The 'Gentiles' who take him and the 'mocking' and 'scourging' you fear are the very opinions and habits that have ruled you. Yet the plan ends in 'the third day he shall rise again'—a glorious accounting: the rising is your inner renewal, the moment when you realize you are not your fear, nor your past defeats, but the living awareness that witnesses them and outgrows them. So the narrative invites you to revise the story in your imagination, until the conqueror of fear stands forth in you, now.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the scene: you are the I AM walking the inner road, fear and judgment bow to your awareness; declare, 'I rise now,' and feel the third-day resurrection as your present consciousness.
