Neville Goddard on Mark 11:12-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 11 in context

Scripture Focus

12And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

13And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

Mark 11:12-13

Biblical Context

On the way from Bethany, Jesus felt hunger and saw a fig tree with leaves afar off, hoping to find fruit. He found none because the season for figs had not yet arrived, a reminder that outward signs can mislead when inner fruit is absent.

Neville's Inner Vision

Mark 11:12-13 invites the inner reader to interpret hunger as a signal to awaken the consciousness that creates reality. The fig tree's leaves show appearances, not nourishment; they symbolize outward signs that do not guarantee inner fruit. In Neville's psychology, the season is always determined by the state of consciousness you occupy in the I AM. Hunger becomes a door to revision: instead of lamenting the absence, you imagine the fruit as already present and feel it as real. When you acknowledge that you are the I AM, you realize you can shift the scene by choosing a state of fullness, trust, and expectancy. The outward event will follow from the inner assumption, for the inner world is where real planting occurs. Do not fight the leaves; use them as cues to change inner belief, and watch the feast appear as the fruit of your faith.

Practice This Now

Practice: In the present moment, assume the fruit is already on the tree. Feel its reality with all senses and persist in that imagined state for a few minutes, then carry that feeling into daily actions.
