Inner Temple Rising
Mark 15:29-30 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Passersby taunted Jesus, saying he should prove himself by coming down from the cross and by destroying and rebuilding the temple in three days. The scene captures external derision surrounding a moment of apparent suffering and challenge.
Neville's Inner Vision
That scene of those passing by is not about a man on a cross, but about the stage of your own consciousness. The temple they refer to is the temple of your body and mind; to them, it seems destroyed and to be rebuilt in three days, echoing the inner certainty that a new state can arise swiftly in awareness. The taunts—'save yourself, come down from the cross'—are your own habits of escape, the old sense of separation from the I AM. The cross signifies the old belief dissolving, the outer world reflecting an inner narrative. When you acknowledge that you ARE the I AM, you realize the temple does not fall; you are consciousness, and you possess the power to 'build it in three days' by assuming the end result now. Salvation and resurrection are present awakenings, not distant events: choose the feeling of wholeness, health, and renewal in this moment, and your inner life reconfigures. As you persist in that assumption, the old gravity drops away, and you rise into the life your imagination has already produced.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes, affirm 'I AM' and assume the temple rebuilt now; feel the healed body and renewed mind as a present fact for 60 seconds, then proceed from that conviction.
