Kiss as Inner Token
Mark 14:44 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Mark 14:44, the betrayer signals Jesus with a kiss, using a token to identify him. The verse shows how outward signs reflect inner beliefs, fears, and loyalties.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the Gospel scene, the kiss is not a mere social gesture but the symbol of an inner agreement your mind makes with separation. The token given to identify Jesus reveals a belief you hold about danger, loyalty, and who you are. Jesus embodies the unconditioned I AM behind all appearances; the betrayer is the habit of reading life by signs that supposedly prove you are exposed. When you call someone a betrayer or fear a kiss will expose you, you are narrating an inner movement, not a distant fact. The outward act of leading Jesus away mirrors your decision to flee truth in order to protect a fragile self-image. The redemption is recognizing that tokens and kissing signs have power only as long as you give them life in your mind. You are the I AM, and your imagination fashions every scene. By claiming that unity is your reality, you reverse the script and invite harmony beyond appearances.
Practice This Now
Practice: close your eyes and declare, 'Whomsoever I kiss, that same is I,' then revise aloud to 'Whomsoever I kiss, that same is the Self.' Breathe into the revise until the sense of separation dissolves and the inner sense of unity returns.
