Neville Goddard on Mark 11:2-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 11 in context

Scripture Focus

2And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

3And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

4And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

Mark 11:2-4

Biblical Context

Mark 11:2-4 records Jesus instructing his disciples to go to a village, find a colt tied there, and bring it; if questioned, say the Lord needs it, and they will be allowed to take it.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Mark 11:2-4, the village, the colt, and the act of delivering the beast are not distant happenings but states and potentials within your own consciousness. The disciples are your ready faculties heeding an inner command. The colt, never ridden, signifies a seed of purpose kept untapped until the I AM speaks. When you hear the instruction to enter the inner village, you stand at a crossroads in your mind where two ways meet. You locate the colt bound at the doorway, a sign that your aim awaits your permission to move. To loose him is to release possibility by accepting that the inner Lord needs this instrument for expression. If questioned, your reply becomes a revision of belief in your thought: the Lord hath need of him. Straightway, alignment occurs; the colt is freed and the mission proceeds. This is how the Kingdom within appears not through external events but through the immediate recognition that your inner I AM requires your present instrument to step forward.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and enter your inner village; see the colt already there, bound at the door. Silently declare that the Lord hath need of him, loosen the ties in imagination, and feel the release of your next step arising within you.
