The Inner Vineyard Parable
Mark 12:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus introduces a parable in which a man plants a vineyard, fences it, digs a winepress, builds a tower, and leases it to tenants before going to a distant country.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the one awake the vineyard is the field of your own consciousness. The hedge about it is the boundary of belief, the winefat the sweetness of your ideas, the tower your elevated perspective, and the rental to husbandmen the decision to employ your faculties in service of a fruitful life. The owner going to a far country is the quiet unseen Presence that trusts your inner powers to produce fruit while it remains beyond sight. The question of the parable is not geography but stewardship: what fruit does your inner kingdom yield when you forget yourself in daily life. Your tenants are the faculties you set to work imagination focus desire action and their faithfulness is measured by the harmony and abundance you experience. When the master returns the awareness that you are and always have been the I AM you will know by the fruit: is there joy generosity and alignment with your higher self or do you sense neglect and famine. Remember imagination creates reality you draft the land by what you picture and feel in your heart.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, I am the owner of my inner vineyard. Then visualize tending the hedged rows with calm focus until fruit—joy, clarity, and abundance—ripens in my awareness.
