Drink The Inner Cup

Mark 10:38-40 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Mark 10 in context

Scripture Focus

38But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
40But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.
Mark 10:38-40

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.
