Drink The Inner Cup
Mark 10:38-40 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus cautions that they do not grasp the meaning of his cup and baptism, yet he affirms they will share in them. The seating of honor is not given by him, but prepared for those whose inner preparation and obedience align with God's purpose.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the quiet of your own awareness, the cup and baptism are not outward events but inner states of mind. When you hear 'we can,' you are signaling a readiness to enter the crucible of change, to be washed into a new consciousness. Jesus does not bestow rank from without; he points to the I AM in you—the self that can be faithful to a vision regardless of appearances. The right and left seats are not for others to win; they are preparations wrought by your own consistent feeling of the wish fulfilled. To drink the cup is to welcome the discipline of your thoughts and feelings, to embrace suffering as the furnace that refines belief. The baptism is your immersion into a new level of consciousness, a sea-change in how you identify with life. Obedience and faithfulness are the inner conditions that unlock the Kingdom within. The call to sit at the right hand becomes a summons to align with the divine I AM here and now, and to live from that interior sovereignty.
Practice This Now
Choose a current circumstance and, in stillness, assume the state 'I AM'—you have already drunk the cup and been baptized into its transformation; feel it real for several minutes and revisit it daily.
