Read Mark 3 in context

Scripture Focus

23And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

24And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

26And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.

Mark 3:23-26

Biblical Context

Jesus teaches that a kingdom or house divided against itself cannot stand. True power comes from the unity of consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this scene, 'Satan' is not an external foe but a chorus of rival thoughts within your mind. The 'kingdom' is your inner state of awareness, and a split between wholeness and doubt dissolves every attempt at transformation. When you ask, 'How can Satan cast out Satan?' you are being shown that you cannot topple a counterfeit by fighting it with more of the same agitation. You must withdraw your allegiance from the conflict and claim a single ruler—the I AM, the timeless awareness that you are. The moment you identify with that unity, the clamor of opposing tendencies loses its authority, for the apparent contradictions vanish in the light of one inevitable state. Your imagination is not a theater of fear but the workshop of reality: imagine the end you seek as already true, and let that end pull the others into harmony. The end of division is the birth of power that endures.
