Inner Reckoning and Mercy
Mark 14:72 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Peter's memory of Jesus' warning awakens him to his denial, and he weeps. This is a turning point in consciousness, not mere history.
Neville's Inner Vision
Peter did not betray a man; he awakened to a state of consciousness that believed itself apart from the I AM. The second cock crow is the second surge of a fear thought; when he recalls the word, he feels the pang of separation and weeps—the release of a memory that once ruled his sense of self. The prophecy is not about a future event; it is a mirror of your inner declarations. To Peter, the denial was an inner vow that I would not stand in the truth of my divine sonship. The repentance is the mind turning back to its true center, the I AM that never left. As I dwell in that memory, I realize my own past denials of the divine nature, and I feel the need to turn toward the awareness that I am one with God. Mercy and compassion arise not from punishment, but from recognizing the illusion of separation. The practice is to revise the memory, to imagine I have always remained in God and to feel that truth as real now.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: sit quietly, recall the memory, and revise it by declaring I have always remained in God; feel that truth as real in this moment.
